U360 Care Success Story
A couple of months ago I posted a story about a young boy and his family who had been victim to a senseless robbery. During that robbery of course, the young boy lost his Xbox 360 console. That wouldn’t be a unique story except that he had only had his Xbox 360 for about 2 weeks. This story was emailed to me and I decided to get in touch with the family to offer my help in some way. After speaking with the mother, I posted the story and the U360 Care effort began.
The community donated $250 to replace the Xbox 360 that was stolen. I planned on covering the last $100 or so but one of U360’s own did the unthinkable and donated an Xbox 360! NuAngel was fortunate enough to have an extra Xbox 360 and he approached me with the idea of simply paying it forward to this situation so that the money collected could go towards games, controllers etc. This wasn’t an ordinary Xbox 360 though. It was NuAngel’s Xbox 360 he had won that included the signatures from the entire Heroes cast! (yep I was totally jealous)
I got in touch with the mother and let her know I’d be bringing an Xbox 360 for her son. She was amazed at the generosity and simply floored that people she didn’t even know would go out of their way like this. I delivered the console last Tuesday afternoon along with an extra wireless controller, SKATE, NCAA Football 2009, Ninja Gaiden II and a Quick Charge kit. The smile on the kid’s face would’ve made the Joker proud. I took a snapshot of him holding the Xbox 360 with a big thumbs up to the community.
Kudos to NuAngel and the entire Unscripted 360 community for a job well done! It keeps my faith in the good of people in this society. Just when you think there can’t be anyone who genuinely cares in the world, you all step up and prove people wrong.
