Joe, my comments about all of our great work on this are on our front page. You are definitely a role model for us all. All of your selflessness and proactive work on this is so much appreciated. Thank you for doing this! And to all the Yarders for that matter.

AFE shoot me that embed code when you get it and I will put it on the front page.

Just want to let you know that Eli is doing pretty amazingly well with his treatments! He received his new cells two days ago so that is awesome news! He also had a wonderful Easter and got a nice basket from the Easter Bunny! Keep up with his adventures here: http://www.facebook.com/theforceisstrongwitheli

Keep up the good work!

when I first heard of this news, I was devestated to hear that something so horrible could happen to such an adorible kid, but now I think the wonderful donations of ISY have made this the golden age of his childhood. I love it when a group of people ban together for such a selfless deed. Godbless the hearts of ISY and Godbless Eli. I`ll keep praying for him.

Thanks for the update on Eli; it's good to know he's taking to his treatments well!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Eli would love that beige! but unfortunately he's in Ohio and has no immune system so they only let family in. So plan something for when he is able to go home to NY? That would be the best bet. Awesome idea though!!!!

Hey guys, quick update: Eli has been doing much better and is being discharged to the residential apartments wing of the facilities he's in. The toy drive seems to have wound down (which despite the fun and amazing turn out of support, donations, and contributions, is nice because it means fewer shipping costs). It's been an amazing run on the toy drive and a great charity effort. The Star Wars community definitely came out in full support and we succeeded with flying colors. This is not to say that you cannot donate still if you haven't gotten around to it yet, or have some more to send, just that we're nearing an ending point. I have 11 boxes stacked and ready to be shipped a few each week or so. Thanks to everyone who has donated, to the time and effort you've contributed, to the money, the publicity, and support! You are all super star Jedi masters, and Sith Lords should you feel better that way ;)

Another quick update: I have a sale up on eBay currently to raise a bit more money for shipping. Check it out! Lots of cool stuff:

This is up on Ebay currently! Basically an instant collection with all but one figure sealed in original boxes! Clone wars figures, TVC, Saga Legends, and more!

Special offer: Shipping fee waved for Yarders who win!

Thanks and good luck!

happy bidding!
