Sorry everyone, due to things begin slow around here and Texas leaving Gaia, the charity is officially closed.

Introduction

Howdy! Welcome to A Texas Size Charity. We are so happy to see you. We welcome you and hope that you not only receive help fulfilling your dreams, but that you find a home you can always come back to.

While you're here, take some time to get to know us, enjoy the activities, and smell the bluebonnets. (You know, they are the state flower of Texas wink ) Texas is more than just a state on the map. It's an attitude, a lifestyle, a state of mind. It's about generosity.

Most of the staff here aren't even from Texas, but you'd never know it by the size of their hearts heart Our donations of gold have increased in size and on occasion we still give out an item or two. Please read over the first page, fill out the form in post #5, and then chat while you wait. heart


To send a donation to A Texas Size Charity, please click the trade icon on texas_charity. She may be a little slow picking it up, but she'll be mighty glad you sent it!

BTW...First page by Raina!

Texas_Born
Co-Owner of this Charity.
I have been on Gaia since Aug 2007. I started on Gaia because of my kids. I have stayed on Gaia because it is fun. I am married. I love my family and I love the Lord. I love almost all styles of music, but I prefer rock. Yes, back in the day I was a head-banger. Texas knows that Yuki/Ash's favorite color is blue. wink

Yuki_Fujimiya / Ashleyien
Co-Owner of this Charity.
I joined Gaia in wayyyy back at the end of 2003. I first found out about the site from a friend back in college and have since made many friends here. I have several avatars but the two I seem to use the most and most likely will post here with are Yuki_Fujimiya and Ashleyien. I'm single, live in Canada and currently share a house with my younger sister Misake. I love listening to music, especially rock/alternative. My favorite colour is dark blue.









Misake
Art Department
I have been on Gaia since 2003 (about a week longer than Yuki). I found out about the site from a friend at college. I love being artistic, playing videogames, watching Japanese dramas and listening to J-rock (Japanese rock music). My favorite color is green.

Bahgera (aka Raina)
Charity Helper and fellow Texan!

The Wolf Girl/The_Doctors_Wife Aka Doc
Charity helper and resident tackler! eek
I joined Gaia mid way through 2005 and have been on and off. I have quit twice giving away all my items and both times managed to recover without whining about loosing them and gaining most of the gold on my own so don't complain to me about your sob/hacking stories and we'll get a long just fine. I can be opinionated sometimes and I am a ranter when it comes to having a bad day. I love hanging out in this thread and the other regulars are great so if you come in and start causing problems you're going to get an earful and probably reported. I love music and it's a great way to distract me from another point. I feel like I am issuing a warning but hey don't worry Texas makes me behave when I am here, at least for the most part. XD

For a Cause

From the front page of
The Daffodil Movement.
ACS Daffodil Days
The American Cancer Society’s real-life counterpart of the Daffodil Movement. “Daffodil Days involves offering daffodils every spring to donors in appreciation for their contributions. By giving daffodils to friends, family members, and even cancer patients, donors are really giving hope by enabling the Society to offer free programs and services to improve the lives of people facing cancer.”

Cancer Awareness Calender
April may be the month for The Daffodil Movement, but you can find days for cancer awareness all year! This lists the different cancer days and months.
