    Bringing this back up. I sent a good-sized box with clothing in it. I asked that somebody send me a receipt for tax purposes. I enclosed a list of the items and their approximate value. I never heard anything. Anybody else? I'd still like to get a receipt for the donation.

    I got a nice thank you letter from the class -- very sweet and hand-written. I had asked about a tax receipt too, but no, did not get one. I'm just going to let it slide as I didn't send that much (three used jerseys), and I expect they didn't expect requests of that sort. Bummer for you, since you sent a lot.

    Sounds like they do not have any kind of not-for-profit or other tax exempt status. While I'm sure they appreciate your generousity, they are not in a position to give a reciept that will carry any weight with the dreaded IRS.

    Me too - my box was quite heavy so I sent it regular parcel post - no delivery confirmation available.

    I haven't received anything other than email from Kenneth either. But it occurred to me, did you all send him an itemized donation list along with your name and mailing address? If not, he won't be able to follow-up with you.

    Wow, I wonder why I seem to be the only one who got a nice hand-written letter from one of the girls in the class? Maybe they're doing a letter a week?

    Ken, thanks for all that you are doing for these kids. You have made a difference in their lives and serve as a role model to all.
