ton ton charity is a non-profit charity dedicated to aiding gaians; those who have been questing for an item for a long time and also those who have just started. in my eyes, help is help! you don't need to have credentials and proof to receive help for something you'd really like to have. this is why in order to get a donation, all one needs to do is stay and chat with me and others! end of story. please, stay and enjoy your time here! i've always loved the element of charities allowing you to meet new people, so please, don't just wait.

announcements:
[CLOSED until further notice while attempting to get one of my most loved possessions back. I'm sorry!]

* about ton ton charity!

ton ton charity was established in march of 2004 on a much earlier account. this points to the reason that there is such a high gold count at the beginning of this thread. frankly, i've been donating during my entire stay on gaia, and thread or not, i continue to do so. no, sorry, you may not know my earlier account name or the charity thread. (this is due to the extreme begging and drama that made the thread meet it's demise. it was started in the chatterbox so, y'know, i was sort of asking for it anyways!)

in this charity, as i've stated before, staying and chatting is the one and only thing that will increase your chances of being donated to.
nothing else. zip. nada. nope!

things that will not increase your chances include: begging, nagging, hinting (especially when it's painfully obvious), hitting and running, bribing of any sorts, and generally being rude. oh, and breaking the tos. follow the tos, darnit!

otherwise, this thread is mainly to have fun and to provide support to people who need it. don't ruin that!

no "proof" or minimum time spent questing is needed, though it is helpful that i know what i'm donating towards! something like stating it in your signature is all i need. as sad as is, i do need to know that i'm donating to some sort of cause, and not just for the hell of it. even if you're questing for multiple or cheap items, it doesn't matter to me!

* ton ton rules.

It's simple, follow my remotely flexible rules and you'll be fine. n on

1. Gaia TOS
2. No begging, whinning, nagging, hinting, etc.
3. Be nice. I don't like donating to meanies. You don't have to be Mother Theresa, either. Just please, no hostility.
4. Elitism is prohibited.*
5. Hits and runs will be ignored.
6. Stay and chat! heart

* For those of you who do not know, elitism is the act of putting yourself above others, especially with a certain imaginary class self-proclaimed as "the literate." Listen. Good for you that you use impeccable spelling and grammar in your online posts, but don't even think about demeaning someone else purely due to the fact that they have errors or simply do not care about it in theirs. It doesn't make them any worse of a person and I feel like it's the beginning of some sort of "noob" holocaust feelings. It's sickening, please be respectful.

I also hate the word "noob." Ew. XD

* ton ton deserving donations!

There are some people in particular that deserve a gift for all of their giving, or some help on a quest that they've stuck to for an inspiring length of time. Here, I will be featuring donations that I've given to these brave souls. heart

most recent:
to Leena-nee
estimated 1,300,000 gold as of 1/20/09.

Leena-nee has been questing minis for three years now! Three years! I know that many people have started a quest for such a pricey item but then bailed out, but she kept on sticking to it! She's been a consecutive saver ever since.

She was also semi-recently made into a site moderator! Way to go Leena, i'm cheering for you!

Anyways, I decided to donate because she'll be doing so much work now as a mod; she's very dedicated to helping people, especially through PM.

As of very recently, Leena got her Minis!!! heart Hope those slippers paid off! Special thanks to her friend, too!

Please, please! Recommend people for a deserving donation! heart
