I need your used Gi's!!!

[Mako]

I teach a free MA program on the South side of San Antonio, for at-risk and underprivelaged kids/teens. I'm using MA as a hook, to teach positive life-skills (self-confidence, setting goals, etc.) We've been running for over a year now, and run around 20 students a class. Here's the hook...
We have no funding whatsoever, mats, gis, belts, everything is coming out of my pocket. Up to this point, it hasn't been be problem, but once my wife looked at "Quickbooks" last night... well, let's just say a comfortable couch is a good investment!

Here's where you come in. The inflow of students has been pretty high lately (7 last week alone). I can't keep up with the gi supply. If any of you have used gis that you would like to donate (from size 0-6) please let me know. I will pay for shipping. We will also be taking group pictures for a "thank you" card to those who donate gi's.
I'm not looking for double weave HCK's here, guys, anything will do (white only, please). If they are serviceable, we can do some minor mending, washing, etc.

Your help is truly appreciated!

Thanks!

What's your address, I'll send a donation in to you.

If you want, get a PO box and we can send you money orders.

How about it dudes, this sounds like a real good effort.

Let's pass the hat around.

Even Patt can send some pennies since he's a starving student.

you guys must be forgetting. we pay to learn bjj. WE need donations!

B.S.
If you're an underpriveliged, at risk kid, then we will pass the hat to you, otherwise, you need to go out and collect aluminum cans and deposit bottles.
Or you can stand on a freeway offramp and hold a sign:
Need money, out of work BJJ martial artist.

Screw underpriveledged kids, these street thugs will use their bjj knowledge to attack your wife and daughters. Lord forbid the poor people get a freaking job. And furthurmore poor kids should be either skateboarding, getting high, or, a, committing crimes. These must be dorky poor kids that are beaten up in their ghetto and need to learn bjj.

Patterson, give him your stained sheets!

Good Response!

Guys,
Thanks for the response so far! I was afraid some people would take it as a "send me money" type thing. That's not what i'm after at all.

Sweep, you're a gentleman.. i'll e-mail you my address.

Howard, the info is on the way, thank you so much!

Patt,
I hope you're kidding. I'll leave it at that.
