[Vicki]

That's awesome @Vicki

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person...

Unexpected gifts in the mail in the mail have a special way of picking u up.

Enjoy I now u will.

@Ratchett I wanted you to know your surprise has arrived.
Haze accessory cases... real beauties!
They look terrific.
My hands have been full and time seems so short these days
I will get to distributing the pieces to Haze users in short order.
I can hardly wait to see how the patients like using them.
I have just the place for these cases, with a couple of patients that expressed concerns over managing their screens.
I will surely let you know how this works out!

A long while back, in the cheap bubbler thread... I spoke of a broken bubbler, and did post images.
@VAPEHUNTER .... thanks for your gift.
This time I was the recipient of a "Paid Forward " gesture.
I recieved a duplicate of my broken DHGate Bubbler from @VAPEHUNTER this morning.
I am using it right now!
What a nice gesture.
There were notes inside, and a couple surprises.
The notes spoke of paying it forward.....
and I cried.
Real fat tears spilled, because the notes said that it was my turn.
Thanks~

I was just the recipient of an anonymous gift, an Element mica Vapman. I don't know what I have done to be on the receiving end of a gift like this, but I just need to say thank you and this kind gesture has really impacted me. It's amazing how much this community supports each other and is always there. We are more than a vaporizer community. We are a family. We are all in this together. Thank you to every single one of you for making this place such a positive place. Peace and good vibes.

The people here are great, better than a lot of my own family!

I use my gifted AromaDog everyday! Have fun with your Vapman!

 

[VAPEHUNTER]

Sir,
After all you have done for others it was the least I could do.
It makes me very happy to know you now have a bubbler (again) that fits your needs.
Happy Vaping!

I was coming to read the thread and see how it was going... Since I've first read the thread, I knew I'll have to make my "paying it forward" (on FC), especially if I don't find someone in need close by me. And the posts I've read and the one you wrote, @Vitolo, made me feel really bad for you and the miserable tasks some **** are doing against humanity !

I hope you will come over this situation and that we will find a way to help you. You were really an inspiring one for me in regard to vapor-conversion and vapes purchase.
Sending vibes to you, wish you will be able to struggle against injustice (and the word is soft) this won't be easy and I'm sure we'll all help you how we can. Let's hope it's not lost for sure in advance...

Edit
@Rick I had exactly the same view as you about how to help. A lot of us have Paypal here, that wouldn't be too difficult. Give us some news when you feel, Vitolo.

An apology
My sincerest apologies for "bringing down" the upbeat norm of this thread, a month ago.
How damned selfish of me.. (I realize it now) to use this thread to vent about our misfortune.
I should have spoken out elsewhere, but was terribly lost in the moment.
I requested that all posts regarding the incident be moved to http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/police-raid-on-patty-and-vitolos-home.18671/

This thread now goes back on track.
So, who paid it forward?
Who is a winner in all of this?
Everyone is!
YOU all paid it forward.
and the patients that are in bad shape... and without income still won!

We are in for our 3rd week of therapy... and we win.. we still love one another more daily, as we learn about each other farther!

I have ordered a few parts for patients, who will come this week as their parts arrive.
I have accepted a few Vaporizers from local donors, and will be placing them with patients.
I have scheduled patients for tubing, and stem replacements, and will proceed with fulfilling promises.
Good fortune will again be paid forward.

Do you know of anyone accepting used non-Haze vapes while Vitolo is on hiatus?

Hello @Modicum
I wrote to you giving you an address so you could send the item/items.
I have others that will take possession of the items, and after placement with a low income patient Skype sessions will be arranged to help with the units use.
In the case of the patients without internet access, They will be seen at a local office.

God bless you,Vitolo.You're what dreams are made of.

Please send me an address as well. I still have some that have been waiting to donate for months. And since I have VAS, I have more items. Does anyone really need 2 lilys? Do you think ones that need a lighter/torch will be a problem?

 

[Vitolo]

Torches are not an issue with patients with normal manual dexterity... such as chemo patients and other disorders that do not affect hands.
Love you for taking that into consideration.

I thought this was worthy of a cross thread post. Mod's please delete if you disagree.

Modnote: I don't disagree.

This isn't a cross-post. This is a link to a post elsewhere, which is exactly how you should do it. Great story too.

 

[Vitolo]

...Great story too.

Wow... that sure was a great story.
@scottg402 ....that's good stuff.
Bit by bit the fear leaves us....
and we make plans for how to move the disabled community in a progressive direction.
Reading stories like that slap me with the reminder that our jobs are not done.
Not really ever done.
Pay it forward.

 

[little maggie]

My first couple are packed and ready to go this week. But as someone who does not have normal manual dexterity, anything that uses butane will be more or less scorched. I didn't pack those that are scorched without checking whether someone might want one. Also, is there any need for a bubbler.

 

[Vitolo]

At your discretion, little maggie. We will find a home for any piece you send.
I hope you all have a golden day today.
This is a day we will never get back, so let us treasure it.

 

[Vitolo]

Holidays are upon us, and nothing has yet changed.
I will expound later in the raid thread. We wait.
Paying it forward thread is the nature of the thoughts at hand.
We have managed to get vaporizers and parts to a number of patients in need.
We leave the house and meet with patients elsewhere, but we get it done.
We have gotten a couple of Haze vaporizers out there and the most recent donations from you.
A couple of head shops and a dispensary donated pieces to us to sell for legal fees, and you all helped with that also, through FC classifieds. (You guys are all still paying it forward!)
It is the time when we are with loved ones.
I love my family so very much.
(Patty, 2 dogs and 2 birds)
Want to pay it forward in a special way?
You are granted moments of pleasure by the Universe, and the Creator.
Moments of laughter, and moments of joy.
Moments without fear have been my most recent gift from the Universe, and they are priceless.
Take all of those moments and add them up.... and pay that bundle of peaceful moments forward in extra hugs and contact with family.
Morning hugs are my specialty.
Long ones that show my spouse that the last thing on my mind is everything in the Universe except being close.
I love you guys...
May all of you have a most wonderful Christmas.
I pray that each of you sees a miracle.
My greatest gift I personally got today was the hugs, and I am grateful.
Don't forget the hugs.

Hello everyone. It really has been far too long since there was any activity on the best thread on FC.

I am hoping this post can help bring the spirit back! We have been in contact with Vito and we hope it will not be long until he is back in action again!
