Pay No Attention To That Man Behind The Curtain...

Want to help a Nashville family rebuild their flood damaged home? Want a shot at winning some rare pop art and collectibles? You can do both! Just Donate to The Kharma Initiative’s Wayman Flood Relief raffle through October 30, 2010. The Waymans are exactly the type of people we all know and have in our lives. Jeff, a loyal friend to my family for 35 years, is the kind of guy who shows up on moving day with his truck just as you realize that you can't possibly fit everything in one trip. He would check in on my widowed mother when her own sons were away in the military. His wife, Lee, is a pediatric nurse and her impact on our family began the first day she stepped into our lives. Lee has comforted more crying children than can be counted, and has dispensed more advice to frantic parents than a poison control hotline. Auntie Lee makes sure that my children have a hand to hold when they get shots and a treat to take home afterwards. Together they have two wonderful kids who they've taught to be kind, accepting and hardworking. This working class family's home was hit hard this summer when devastating rains swept through Music City. The worst flooding that Nashville has seen in over a hundred years swept away buildings, homes and lives. Local businesses and families are still rebuilding, including the Waymans. My husband and I had planned to give away our collectibles collection; we just didn't know to whom or why. The floods made it instantly clear. We had an opportunity to give something back to a family that would do the same for us, and you, without a second thought. It's also a chance to illustrate the power people can have when they come together in support of a common cause. The Kharma Initiative was joined by amazing people all over the globe to present this unique and exciting collection of prizes to help the Wayman family. I hope you'll join us by considering a donation. Your good deed could be rewarded, like Kharma!
Donate $50 or more for a chance at the very rare items in this collection (and the next two collections). Items in this collection are special, but consider the added autographs from LOST producers, writers and actors and these become even more exciting.
