If I had lost my home, my vehicle, only had the clothes on my back, replacing fitness DVDs would be the last thing on my mind.

Dunno, if I lost everything, I would love to have some DVDs to bring some semblance of normalcy back to my life, relieve stress, etc. especially if someone was generous enough and caring enough to give them to me.

As someone who lost everything last year to the Fort McMurray wildfire, I can't tell you what it meant to have kind VF'ers come to my parents home where we evacuated to (4.5 hours south of Fort McMurray by car, but the trip took us close to 12) with dvd's, a portable DVD player, gift cards, clothes, weights, etc plus the VF'ers that mailed me DVDs and gift cards. The kindness of people was over whelming. To have some sort of 'normal' back in your life was very comforting and important in a world that has been turned upside down. ❤️

I agree with you. It's also a luxury I wouldn't be spending any money on as I had far more important things to worry about. Those dealing with the aftermath of the hurricane have way bigger problems to deal with than fitness DVDs. I will be donating through my company as they will be matching donations from employees up to $50k in addition to making a donation themselves. But I can give also give someone a selfish/frivolous/personal gift that they wouldn't think about for a long time otherwise.

What a thoughtful idea. I will definitely contribute.
