Wow.. you guys that are matching the donations are either incredibly generous, have a lot of money, or both.
I'd contribute if I could.

I can't speak for Ameesh or AgaBoogaBoo but it's been a decade since college for me and I'm a lead software developer, so I'm doing OK.
This and Northwest Harvest (Washington state food bank supplier) are the only charities I'm giving to this year so I'm not being that generous.
Bill Gates gives more every few seconds than I'll donate in my lifetime so it's all relative -- do what you can, when you can.

we all can do what's in our means; giving $5 or $500 is the same in my book. either way someone else less fortunate is going to be better off then they were. in this case a sick child will be able to play some video games to keep his mind off his illness. it really is the thought that counts

Hi SuperNaruto, thanks again for your earlier donation!
I don't need money for the DS Lite, it's the matching I'm doing to other people's donations. Once 3 more people make a $25+ Amazon donation my own matching will be at $260 and I can order a second DS Lite for $129.xx.
Ameesh has planned something even bigger for using his matching money, what could it be???

I will match all donations over $2000 on a 1 to 1 basis up to $4000. ($2000 from me max)
In other words if this: Tote Board (alphabetical by username) = $1,456.31 + $490 = $,1946.31:
turns into this:Tote Board (alphabetical by username) = $1,456.31 + $490 + more = $,4000.00:
I will add $2k to turn it into 6k.

Excellent! To anyone thinking of donating this means your gift is at least doubled, and tripled for smaller gifts. For example:
You donate $29.99, + $10 me +$25 Ameesh + $64.99 Evadman = $129.98 donated !!
So that the person making the last $25+ donation below $2,000 doesn't feel left out, I'll match an extra $20 with them ($30 instead of $10), which means they'll also be the one to get me to buy another DS Lite.
Edited for bad late night math

Little bit of love for the home state. Figured a bunch of smaller cheaper items would be a little better than one big one.
