Hi friends Browsing around the instructables site I found this kid in Indonesia! His version of wal-e made of junk really impressed me.

Specially because all the electronics are taken from old toys! I wrote him asking if he have heard about EZ-b. He said yes, but unfortunately have no money to buy one. So, I was wandering, with that kind of talent, what this kid would be able to do with an Ez-b in hands.. So, here is my proposition. Why don't we send him a board as a gift?! Mabe we could find 20 members that could contribute with, let's say, 15 dollars, and we could send him that? What you guys think? And, DJ, do you think the shop would be able to manage contributions and send him the kit? Just an idea... Greetings from Brazil!
I heard my name?
@Jake Sticka , I realize that utilizing ez credit transferred from one account to another is counter intuitive to the business model. What I really meant to suggest is a way to buy ez credit. In cash so ez robot has not financial obligation when the community wants to help someone out. Even the ability to buy a Gift Card code in 10 , 20 or 50 dollar increments would be awesome. This is really a separate subject that probably needs it's own thread.
friends, I'm so happy that a little good intention triggered this amazing movement. and @WarPig, don't need to thank me... I am the one that should thank you guys for understanding the value of help other people, only for the joy of contribute.
And of course @Alan for spend not only money, but his valuable time to make this happen. I am sure we gonna make it and we are starting something great here.
People like the ones on this forum renew my hope in humanity.
We reached our primary goal tonight (Thanks Nomad for the very generous donation that pushed is over the edge). Aislinn and I have been talking offline about a possible discount and how to best place the order, so it may be a day or two until I place the one for Eric. When I see how likely it is that we will reach the stretch goal I'll track down Dinesh and get his info. If he isn't already reading the thread I don't want to get his hopes up until I know we'll make it.

I would just like to take a moment to say that this this community is without a doubt the best out there.
Agreed! Although, fellas, let's throw a little help closer to home! No one's posted on my forum question for at least three days. I am SHOCKED.
