GoFundMe For Drake

Earlier this year, now, eight-year-old Drake was diagnosed with Difuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, a terminal brain tumor. All he wants for Christmas is Christmas cards(address in link below). Send away. After consulting with a few friends we decided that while the cards will bring him a ton of joy, maybe we can do a little more. I then contacted his mother and got permission to do this. This GoFundMe is set up to send Drake, his parents, and 2 siblings to Disney World as soon as possible. All proceeds will go directly towards funding this vacation for Drake and his family. Any amount large or small will help. Let's make this hero's days Magical!

Original Story
Also, while speaking with his mother, she informed me that someone from Serve Pro contacted her and they may be sending them to the Fiesta Bowl.

Let's see the power of Tigerdroppings put to use and make this little Tiger's life magical.

Intending to send a card was going to say that Tigerdroppings is how I found out and put my screen name, as well as my first name in the card.

I had my department sign a card for him today. It will go out in the mail tomorrow with some Ole Miss swag that he can burn if he so chooses.

Best thoughts for him and his family

And, frick cancer.

I think I missed something in the backstory. Why Ole Miss specifically?

I thought about sending him some hog swag but figured it would be in poor taste. Gonna send him a genuine Arkansas quartz crystal instead. Something interesting for a kid to open.

Ah, okay. I guess I kinda knew that. I was more focused on the recent jostling with Bama and TAMU and didn't really think about the long-term animosity between LSU and OM.

I opened this thinking for sure this was a thread about a gofundme for Rapper Drake. I'm really glad it wasn't....thanks for posting the story

Blown away! I started this Go Fund Me roughly 17 hours ago and was hoping we could maybe reach our original $5k goal in a week. I wake up this morning and we have blown through the updated $8k goal. Thank you all so much! This is by far one of the coolest things I've ever been a part of and it wouldn't have been possible without all of you.
