REMINDER:  The RAOK forum is open to the public, not just to PBS members.  To protect your privacy, the 3 monthly recurring threads are intended to be limited to just what their titles say - Wishes, RAOK offers, and Thanks for wishes granted.  In other words, the posts in these 3 threads should be originating messages only.  Responses to, or chat about, those posts should be by private PMs.  Chatting is welcome in the Share and Care forum, which is limited to PBS members, and where card showers and prayer chains are available for anyone who asks for support.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the Wishes thread, where we post our wishes - maybe things we collect, something we can no longer find in our area, things we have always wanted etc, etc. No wish is too unusual (though common sense is appreciated!); you never know what will turn up.

We must all abide by these PBS rules :
You may not wish for money or money-like items such as gift cards, or for monetary donations for any charities.  You may ask for things you collect for charities, such as cancelled stamps, pop can tabs, etc., but you may not solicit funding. This includes donations for GoFundMe and other fund-raising events.
No buying or selling or advertising. No spam posts.
No wishing for credits.  Credits are bought, sold and loaned only in the Book Bazaar forum, or you may use the PBS Kiosk to purchase them.
Do NOT ask for books, since books are swapped on the site and book deals are made in the Book Bazaar. Sorry, but you may not ask for free books of any kind. (Unpostable books are given away in the damaged book thread of the Bazaar and sometimes in the RAOK thread.  There is also a Damaged/Unpostable Virtual Box in the Games forum.  New participants are welcome!)

Our own RAOK rules: 
Please do not offer payment for the things you are sent, including postage. RAOKs are given freely, asking nothing in return except a thank you. You could pay it forward by granting a wish yourself.
Please limit your wishes to no more than 10. Lists could get very long. You can always edit as you go along.
Unlike many other forums, we ask that you do NOT reply within the threads. We do everything by PMs between members. This keeps the threads clutter-free and easy to use. When you come to this ***Wishes*** thread, you see wishes. In the ***RAOK*** thread, it's all about things we are giving away - simple and easy. And to protect your privacy, please do not post your address in the thread - it's all done via PM.
Please check in and answer your PMs. It's frustrating when people want to grant your wishes and don't hear from you!
PLEASE say THANK YOU to the person who grants your wish.  You may use our monthly ***Thank You*** thread, or you may acknowledge what you have received via a personal PM to the member(s) who granted your wishes. This is very important if you wish to continue to receive things from others.

Tips:
Check the RAOK thread before you post wishes -- the thing you want may already be there for the asking!  If you see a wish you can grant, just PM the poster for their address.
And please remember, if one of the moderators contacts you about a posting, then we are only trying to keep the forum running smoothly and according to PBS rules. If you are asked to change, move, or delete your post, please do so. Most of you know that the PBS team does get involved to edit posts, and accounts do get suspended, if rules are broken. We hate to see that happen to our fellow RAOKers!

If you have questions, feel free to contact me.  I wish that your wish(es) will be granted!

A Wilson antenna ball. These were available for purchase when the movie Castaway came out. Mine was stolen several months ago & I miss it very much. It’s just a small thing but it brings me a great deal of joy.

Happy June to all! Prayers that as we enter in a new month, we all do so in peace and kindness. 

I have a huge Dollar Tree favor for anyone heading there. I enjoy doing the Super Play Pad Jumbo books for kids. They have a variety of puzzles and are lol just my patience level for completion and cuter than adult crossword/word searches. As far as I know the Dollar Tree is the only store that sells these. I'd appreciate so much any of you going there, looking for me. This is what they look like:https://www.dollartree.com/ccstore/v1/images/?source=/file/v2748333811474266561/products/12849.jpg 

I HAVE one of these with a dark blue cover and jungle animals along with a yellow cover and birds. So please don't spend money on these! 

I would need the book to come from a smoke free home. Thank you and God Bless You.

I'd be interested in Native American style crocheted bookmark or pot holders. Not picky on the colors. Thanks in advance!

  1. My Son, Junior Ramirez, turns 32, JUNE 20th. His birthday means a lot to him, because he sees it as one more year he has lived. He has stage 4 kidney failure, and is doing home Dialysis 12 hours a night. He is struggling emotional and medically, but has hope. Can you send him a birthday card? He is very feminine, so a pink card would be just fine, and appreciated more than a masculine card. If you are wondering about Add ins, stickers, LGBT friendly things like rainbows, hello kitty, a "where's George $1", He likes all those inappropriate, Cartoon TV shows, IF YOU SEND TO HIM, please put PBS and your Nickname on the outside of the envelope so I can thank you. I wont open his mail to see the contents.

  2. a subscription to DIabetic Living esp if you can get it free.  I got it free from the recyclebank.com or .org, but Phoenix, doesnt participate with them anymore.  I got it free with points. 

  3. address labels with my name and AZMOM875. any size any color, but if you can do themes. Cats, coffee, cacti, sunflowers, zebras

Looking for things like crossword puzzle books, adult activity books, adult coloring books, just anything that I can do while stuck in my bed or recliner. Due to severe chest pain and not being able to see a specialist right now (daughter is severely high risk so I avoid doctors, hospitals, etc right now to avoid bringing home extra germs), I have to take it easy and spend lots of time relaxing. As much as I love to read... I'm bored. My books aren't holding my attention (worst reading slump ever). It's an odd request but I thought I would post anyways.

My wishes are pretty simple if you believe in prayer.

Prayers for my youngest brother as he has 4 more rounds of chemo.

Prayers for our country and the leaders of our country.

Prayers for those hurting from the protesting, riots and destruction of our country.

Prayers for a friend who is struggling with reasons to live.

Thanks guys for reaching out to Sandi Bandi, it meant a lot to her!!

Ive got a girl turning 16 July 14th and I want this to be the best Bday ever! Im hoping to get her a little car to drive. I may pick it up and park it in the driveway and put a big banner on it. I was hoping you guys would send her a Bday card, Ill hang all of them up with string and hang from the cieling as a part of her Bday decor. I think she would love that so much. Ill post a pic of it afterwards. My address is the same, her name is Raven.

 

Thank you in advance!

Sweet 16heart

One more item badly needed. If anyone has any extra disposable face masks, I could sure use them. Bob prefers them with his oxygen line so they aren't as heavy on his ears. You can't find them here in town and can't order any before next month ( mid month ), so any help would be greatly appreciated.
