Hello all. Being new to this group, I'm sorry if I've posted this message in the wrong category. I also am sorry, in advance, for the sad tone of this introductory post. I've been hesitating for 2 weeks to sign up and post this, but at this point, I figured it couldn't hurt.
I grew up in the 1970's, and I loved Megos (I was a bit of a Tom Boy). I am now a single mother of 2 boys (ages 10 and 12). I've made it a point, since they were born, to build a collection of Megos for each of them. Over the past 12 years, I have managed to give each of them a nearly complete set of loose Megos (mostly the 8" Superheroes and Villains, Knights, Robin Hood, etc and some of the 12" figures, too). Being single, it's been tough to do this, but this was a plan I conceived at my first child's birth, so I saved and planned carefully. My children absolutely loved them.
The story gets sad now... Just a few days before Christmas, our tree caught fire. The fire badly damaged over half of our home, including their room. Both of their Mego collections were completely destroyed in the fire, and it broke their hearts, along with mine.
There is simply no way that I can re-build their collections quickly, or even before they "grow up." As I said before, it took me 12 years to build their ost collections.
This is where I do what I've never had to do before now, swallow my pride and ask for help. I'd never do it for myself alone, but these are my kids. If anyone out there has any Mego(s) they could part with, my children and I would be so grateful. I'm also having to rebuild other parts of my home that were destroyed, so I am unable to pay you anything. I am ashamed to have to do this, but if there's any chance that this will help me re-build even part of my kid's collections, then the shame I'm feeling is a small price to pay.
I am not trying to scam anyone, which I've been accused of more times than I can count recently, when I posted a request for assistance on another board. I can understand why some, or most of you might think this, and there's nothing I can do to prove otherwise. Please understand that my kids and I are going through a terrible time right now. If you can't believe me, as I said, I understand. All I ask is that you not be harsh with me on this board. Just forget about me. I don't think I can handle much more negativity at this point. Thank you.
If you are in a position to help us out, *please* do send me a message so I can give you my mailing address. As I said, we would be so very grateful.
Sincerely,
Stephanie
