He is always looking for work, always willing to help..

So wonderful to see you looking so well Brother Frankie! And such a wonderful thing you're doing helping people to have better lives. I can only imagine how the rains have made life so much more difficult, and the humidity and skeeters after the rains stop.

When you mentioned the Indian Reserve, were you referring to what I'd mentioned? I really don't know what they're doing up there, I had simply seen this thread, and saw your thread mentioned in it, and they were speculating if they couldn't do something similar with Native Canadians.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/canada-forum/307572-aboriginal-people.html It's post #20 and he linked to this thread, which is how I found this thread.

I love how you respect the privacy and dignity of your friends, but still post videos of the ones who don't mind at all. It's so nice to see folks actually using the products and hear how they feel about it. You are truly carrying out what Christ told us to do. Minister to the physical needs, and minister the Gospel.

I saw a big brick charger somewhere that charges a bunch of batteries at once. It was pretty reasonably priced too. Maybe you could get one of those and a bunch of batteries and swap them out for them when they need them. Atty's and juice is best left to someone with more experience than myself.

Appreciate the thought stink but thats not a doable thing. unless we have three to six batteries for each person..

another thing most forget is, with every suggestion there is a person called someone.. some one should, someone can....

well, that someone also has a family, holiday, gets sick, is tired...

we need any situation when we are helping others for them to be self reliant..

i would love to have a carto filler/battery charger gal.. but it will never happen..:)

thanks for tryin... :)

Wow Bonnie alerted me to this thread. Some great work you guys are doing here. Once I get home over the weekend I'll have to go through our supplies and see what we can part with. Quick question tho and I'm totally serious (not making fun or anything like that), how do these guys charge their PV's?

rother Frankie's been off line for awhile recovering from surgery. He charges them for the guys, and changes out their batts every few days. Some of the guys have access to electricity throughout the day and have their own chargers. Thanks, you guys for your interest and super thanks to AG51 for referring people here and doing such a stellar job of, tee hee, keeping Bro Frankie's spirits up by telling him, snicker,, how wonderful he looks. :D

Well we will keep Frankie in our prayers. This really is some amazing stuff he's doing to help the less fortunate out there. Its really cool he even takes the time to go out and charge these guys' batteries, I was thinking to myself there was no way all of them had electricity access.

Ok one last question, is there a certain type of donations preferred? Carto's, kits, eGo's, joye 510's, 808's? I expect they don't al get the same setup but I figure some stuff I have they may not need, like 2ohm dual coil cartos?

IIRC, earlier in the thread he mentions the need for eGo type kits/batts/charger/cartos and prefers e-liquid at 24 mg or higher, whether unflavored (he does some DIY) or pre-mixed.

This is a touching thread. I have a blu e cigarette kit,the rechargeable one 2 battery kit with a PCC home charger and usb charger if thats something you could use? It uses a 510 connection so any 510 type cartomizer would work. I have no problem with anything your doing, we need more people like you. I only mentioned that because I'm a Christian and you mentioned several times Christians having issues with some of the things you do. If you would like me to send you the blu please pm me the address to send it too. I can also get some tobacco juice to send along but need to know what mg of nicotine. Hope your back is doing better.
