A wish for a friend

[zenful.livejournal.com]

I would like to make a request on behalf of my friend/coworker and her family. My friend's husband lost his job last month (he wasn't fired - his company had to downsize and his job was eliminated). He's having some trouble finding another job so money is going to be really tight this Christmas. Their 11-year-old daughter has been bugging them about the A Series of Unfortunate Events books for a couple of months now because her friends are all reading them. I've bought the first 2 books in the series for her but my budget doesn't really allow for me to purchase more.

If any of you are feeling generous and could help this wonderful, loving family out, I know they and I would really appreciate it. They don't have a wishlist set up and in fact they don't know I'm making this request on their behalf at all so I set up a wishlist for them. The two books I have bought are in hardcover and I'd kind of like to keep them all in hardcover so they'll look like a pretty set for her. Each hardcover book is about $9US.

Amazon wishlist

The address the books will be shipped to is mine because like I said, they don't know I'm making this request and I really would like for it to be a surprise. And also because I don't feel comfortable giving out their name and address when they have not offered it up themselves. My email address is zenful_79@hotmail.com in case you have any questions/comments.


Thank you in advance and happy holidays to all!

Thank you for the suggestion. :-) I've just set up a wishlist and edited my original post.

I can get Grim Grotto in hardcover from work, however it's the only one. We have the entire series in paperback, though.

I should also mention that I have access to a small varitey of SUE merchandise, if you're interested.
