James Keenan Fundraiser
May 16th, 2007 by Yo-Yo Radio
You may have read about James Keenan’s recent tragic events - his
house burned down and he lost three dogs as well as just about
everything he owns and has been forced to withdraw from his spring
semester classes. You can read James’ full account of the fire here.
James has been working for us at Mitchell’s for a couple years now,
and he is one of the nicest kids we’ve had working for us ever. I was
shocked and dismayed to learn about the fire and his losses.
Someone inquired about a paypal account to send donations to his
family, and I am using the Mitchell’s paypal account to do this.
Every penny sent to this account will be given to James and his
family as they try to rebuild after their losses. Send any donations
to the paypal address of appleseed@mitchells.com. Make sure to label
the donation for James Keenan.
Yo-Yo Nation has also put up this Ebay auction, were ever dollar over $50 will go to James.
One of the things I love about this community is the way we pull
together when a crisis hits one of us. You just don’t see that in all
communities.
James also needs any clothing you might want to spare, his sizes are: medium sized shirts, jeans that are between 30×32 to 32×32, shoes size 11-12
You can send him clothes directly to:
James Keenan IV (its important to put IV else James III will think
its his!)

Yo-Yo people rock! People donated over $600 to James and his family. I think it’s fair to say James and Allison (his girlfriend) were a bit overwhelmed by the amount. Thanks, you guys!
