Can anybody help? Funds needed to ship items to troops in Afghanistan!!

Hi, Philip & Bill -
Our charity America's Warriors has been chosen as one of the recipients of the Intel Corps. volunteer group. They have ordered and received the material needed to hand sew 100 sand-scarves to donate to our organization along with other items, so that we can send them to Afghanistan for Christmas. The problem that we are running into, is that we have had nearly zero luck this year in raising funds from the general public, and are looking at not having the money needed to pay for shipping the care packages over-seas.
I would donate the money myself, however the large amount of funds that I put towards our donations for the Fisher House and Operation Phoenix this February, have left us quite constrained on funds due to my surgery taking me off the work clock. As a result of my surgery and my medications, I completely spaced coming to you and asking if you could make a post in your newsletter for us, so that we could try to raise some funds from your viewers. We are in desperate need of donations to help us get the care packages over-seas, and we must receive them soon so that we can ship the packages no later than the end of November. , As always Joe, your opinions and comments are most welcome If you would care to share your thoughts on what we are trying to do.
Thanks much for your time and I hope you and your wife are doing well :o)
Warm regards,
