@sheilatebra You were gonna throw a leather jacket into the washing machine???

Anonymous Bought a jacket at Goodwill last Saturday. Ten bucks. Leather. Looked barely worn. Figured it was a steal. Got home and checked the pockets before washing it. You know, making sure there's nothing in there. Found a folded piece of paper in the inside pocket. It was a letter. Handwritten. Started with "To whoever finds this." I sat down on my couch and read the whole thing. It was from a guy named Tom. The letter said he was donating all his clothes because he was moving into a care facility. Alzheimer's. Early onset. He was only 54. The letter talked about how this jacket was his favorite. How he wore it on his first date with his wife. How he wore it the day his daughter was born. How he wore it to his dad's funeral. At the end, he wrote: "If you're reading this, you're wearing my memories now. Take care of them. Live a good life in this jacket. Make it mean something again. -Tom, March 2024" I just sat there holding this letter from a stranger who gave me his memories because he knew he was going to forget them. The letter had his wife's name. Linda. And a phone number. "In case someone wants to know the stories." I debated for two days whether to call. Felt weird. Intrusive. But something told me I should. I called. A woman answered. "Hi, is this Linda?" "Yes, who's this?" "You don't know me. But I bought a leather jacket from Goodwill last week. Your husband Tom left a letter in the pocket." Silence. Then I heard her crying. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you" "No. No, you don't understand. Tom passed away three weeks ago. I donated his clothes last month. I didn't know he left letters. He left you a letter?" I read it to her over the phone. Every word. When I finished, she was quiet for a long time. "That's so Tom. Even at the end, even knowing what was coming, he was still thinking about other people. Still trying to make someone smile." She asked if she could see the jacket. I drove to her house that afternoon. Brought the jacket and the letter. She held it. Smelled it. Started telling me the stories. The first date. The day at the hospital. The funeral. All of it. We sat in her living room for three hours while she told me about a man I never met. Before I left, she hugged me. "Thank you for calling. Tom would've loved knowing someone cared enough to find out the stories. Wear it. Live in it. Make new memories. That's what he wanted." I'm wearing the jacket right now. It fits perfectly. And every time I put it on, I think about Tom. About Linda. About how a ten-dollar Goodwill jacket became the most meaningful thing I own. Because last month, a man dying of Alzheimer's decided his memories deserved to find someone who'd care. 🤍

@MrsYoroto @ForgeStoreSTL lol you can’t give inventory away for tax purposes, people who ask for donations - Panda, Vons, etc. donate that money for tax purposes

@ForgeStoreSTL Bruh you just doing that for tax purposes

Every year we give away pallets upon pallets of Pokeballs, tins, Funko, and other toys to schools, churches, and charities. It takes a surprising amount of time and effort to give things away to organizations, so we understand why some people choose not to do it.

Listen... I'll never take a grown man with braces on seriously

@aPokeEmporium Confirmed I have $500 of bulk! What's the next steps? I saw I'm in charge of shipping on your site and It says to organize by rarity, right now I just have everything organized by 1) Common, Uncommon, etc. 2) Holos/Reverse Holos 3) EXs 4) Pokeballs Would you prefer different?

@directedbyjohn Awesome ty :)

This is a weird one, but does anyone have $500 in bulk and want to trade it for a sealed Nintendo Switch 2 Legends Z-A bundle? I tried cancelling my Walmart order because I found one in person, but they didn't cancel it. 😅

@ForgeStoreSTL I need a destined rivals booster box anywhere in the $200s 😅

Spent a little over $4 million dollars on cards this week. I guess we need to sell some stuff... What are we selling?

@ForgeStoreSTL That’s a great drop, thank you guys! Had to get a booster box as well

@directedbyjohn I have no idea why you were not added, but added you!

I am starting to think no one actually listened to us on our first drop. 😂

@aPokeEmporium I should have time by the end of this week to count everything, I most likely have enough.

@ForgeStoreSTL @Rodolfo_ceja101 Same, even sent you guys a tweet when I did it

@Rodolfo_ceja101 order number?

@ForgeStoreSTL Mine is still full price 😔

Also, make sure you are logged in.

@aPokeEmporium Ok let me sort and price out and see if I have enough for that trade

@directedbyjohn No need to sort by set. Just rarity.

Still available! I'll probably just return it to Walmart this weekend if there are no takers on it.

@aPokeEmporium Doesn’t matter the set? More so by rarity?

@directedbyjohn Yes please sort by rarity as listed on the rates sheet.
