Hello everyone! Happy Friday! Big news here!
We have struggled to find the time and resources to support donations for our Pay-it-Forward Upgrade program. It was bad enough our good friend
@Vitolo went through
this, but this also put us in a difficult position. Well after a lot of phone calls and emails we have found some suitable recipients for your donated devices. And with that we feel good about being able to officially relaunch the program!
Details about the program and sign up forms are
HERE!
As you can see we are partnering with two different organizations, Forgotten Not Gone and Seeds for Deeds.
Forgotten Not gone is a 501(C)(3) Nonprofit Organization that is dedicated to helping save Veterans and their families from the Destruction of Suicide. Feeling Alone, Forgotten and Abandoned causes 22 Veterans a day to take their own lives in the United States. Forgotten Not Gone is committed to taking responsibility for helping our service members who were not lost at war but Forgotten at home make a decision to live, through emotional, physical and spiritual activities. For more information please see

Seeds for Deeds sole purpose is raising donations from charity auctions and other charity fund raising events. All proceeds go directly towards helping Patients legally gain access to alternative medicine methods in states where it is legal with doctors recommendations. Costs may be used in transportation and medicinal uses such as paying for the medicine regimens necessary to combat epilepsy, tumors, cancer and many other treatable conditions. We are not health professionals nor snake oil salesmen, we rely on the advice of medical professionals and recommend others to do so as well! For more information please see

We are very excited to be working with these folks to re purpose your unit to someone in need. We are also pleased to tell you that we have been discussing the future with Uncle Vito and we are pretty confident we will be able to bring him back into the fold when he is ready.
As you can see we are letting you choose the recipient charity for your device. We thought it was important that you have the ability to choose the one that you relate to most.
Lastly I just want to say thank you again to the FC Forum for ultimately starting this program in the first place and for allowing us use of this platform to spread the word on how we are participating. We are so very proud to be a part of this community and we thank everyone for your ongoing support. So if you have a V2.5 or prior, feel free to check out the link and sign up if you wish. If you have a V3 you can wait until an upgrade comes along. Please take care of your units so they are in good working condition for those in need. We appreciate it and I think I speak for the recipient organizations as well!
Please let me know of any questions.
