Donation option at check out for Help For Heroes

[andy1661]

Hi to everyone, as you are aware the Patriot Range will no longer be available in the UK
And the donations for Help For Heroes will be no more.
What I would like to propose is a check box at checkout for £1.00 so that if a customer wishes they can still make a donation every time they make a purchase and Totally Wicked UK can then forward it on our behalf. You can’t do much with a £1.00 these days
But every customer donated a £1.00 just think what help could be provided to the many
Services men and women, who is injured in conflicts.

Please post you’re thoughts on the idea

I think that would be a great idea - like the Missionfish donation option on eBay.
Yeah - I'd welcome it.

Hi Nick, I think it's a great idea but we will see what the other forum members think.

[StevieD]

An excellent idea, if the TW team are willing to administer it.

[caz]

Great idea,   Bumping this topic 

[Ben]

As a soldier my self i would love to see this put in action!

[skitz848]

      Absolute great idea, those US/UK guys on the front line are doing a great job, wether you agree with the reasons why they are there or not, it aint their fault, they're just doing the best they can in the situation they find themselves in.
      So for me giving a pound on every order is nothing in the scheme of things but added together would do a great service to them brave soldiers who need the help, so cmon TW, lets get this sorted for them

yey, just realised im a junior member haha

Thank you, Nick, StevieD, caz, Ben, skitz848, for your comments,
Would have liked more feedback but most forum members don’t seem interested.

My best mate is out in Afghanistan just now so this means a lot to me, as it may for Ben, and any other service men on the forum. If you have family or friends out there it puts a whole different perspective on the idea

I'd like an option, for sure.

I'm a big H4H supporter and know a few out there.

     Your right there Andy,my brother served in Iraq and it was a worring time alright, just heard an amazing story last night, My Neighbour has just died ov cancer (rip) and his family were all here,his brothers son has just recieved a top medal for bravery saving an iraq 5 year old child, apparantly he wandered in to a fight going on between us and the Taliban ,got frightened and ran towards the English troops, The taliban shot him coz he ran towards the English and not them, 5 years old ffs.
        The neghbours brothers son ran out in to open ground,dived on top of thiis child, picked him up and brought him back to safety being shot twice in the process. They are both fine now, there bravery never ceases to amaze me,this soldier was 20yrs old,not all kids are a waste ov space.

[aMyP]

Wow, Skitz, that's an amazing story. 

[vonsky]

yes i would love this option, its one charity i fully support, along with air ambulance (as a motorbiker you never know) both are very close to my heart. xvx

[Tammy5332]

works for me 

[ghost]

As a veteran, I just want to thank everyone who is supporting the Wounded Warriors Program or Help for Heroes.

[New2Vape]

do it on the us site. i would probably donate a dollar every purchase. i dont support the wars, but i sure as hell support our troops

[arleneharlow]

nicely said NEW2VAPE!!!

[Horsemen]

do it on the us site. i would probably donate a dollar every purchase. i dont support the wars, but i sure as hell support our troops

They already do it on the U.S. site.  One dollar for every bottle of Patriot Range liquid you purchase.

Maybe a PM to Jason would speed the process

[Horsemen]

Well I just saw that the U.K. site now has a donation on the patriot range of liquids.  It's a start

[johndk]

as long as its an option i cant see why not - it could potential end up in quite a sum -

[Dan Yeats]

Wow, Skitz, that's an amazing story. 

Indeed...

[Jacquie]

Yes i would like to donate whats a £1 when these brave men and woman are risking their lives
What a lovely story skitz that little boy proberly knew he would be safer running to our lads
I hate war but we cant stop it to many idiots ruling the world who never get to fight themselves
I havent got anyone in the forces at the moment thank god but my great granddad and his 2 young brothers are buried in France and Belgium from the first world war
So many graves it is heart breaking  and still it goes on makes me so angry

[gazeddy]

i always donate to h4h and the poppy appeal. im indifferent to the idea as i donate anyway. the only other charity i do is the air ambulance (off roader) because you never know. friend of mine signed up about 6 months ago and is critically injured.

[Jalynnxoxo]

I would love this option!! I would probably donate every Time!! I hope TW will do this for our troopers:-)

[vp_smoker]

As a serving soldier I for one would donate everytime I bought something, as you say whats a pound.

[Aurie]

At an old local store, they put together a "Home Kit" .. The store bakes cookies, and things can be donated and sorted into boxes. Everything from gum to flash drives .. everyone gets something. All boxes end up really assorted, but worth the same amt in value. It helps the stores sales, and you can even make your own box. They then drop it off at a local army recruiting station and they send them to random soldiers .. Most of the soldiers that get them have little family, and don't get care packages at all. If you make your own box you can include your info and almost all the time a thank you note is received back.

I haven't been able to do this for years because the store is now 3200 miles away from where I am now, so I sometimes just send the store some cash around the holidays so they can buy stuff in my stead, but if I could donate online towards the same type of cause, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I know this is an old topic but how about the round up option? say you get a .50 or a .75 end number and are given the option to round up to the pound in a donation. afaik it is a fairly common thing with retailers.

[SMonkey]

As an ex member of the British forces I for one totally agree. I'd be happy to donate £1 every purchase

[efrenchy]

I think it is a great idea I would even check that box after I purchased a Patroit range liquid.
Rounding up is a good idea too but I think that is alot more work for TW.

[MizzSvensson]

I'm +1 to all the giving a £ for each purchase made on the site

I don't support the/a war, but I have the outmost respect for men, who has found something the believe is worth dying fore, such as the right for every human being having the right to freedom

I sure hope TW goes ahead and do this thing
