Jessie had a friend who lived in a small town about halfway between husband's work and our home. This friend is the one who I had to ask to leave from jessie's birthday party a 2 and a half years ago. Prior to that she spent most of a summer with us, coming to visit for a week at a time. After the birthday party she got mad because I told her her behavior was totally out of line and she has refused to speak to Jessie.
This friend was in some activity that was selling gift cards to a place that has a pizza/pasta buffet and a ton of games. The cards are for the games.
As near as I can figure, the game place donated the cards to whatever this activity was. Then the kids involved were supposed to sell the cards to support the activity.
This girl just left 20 of these $5 cards here. Her phone is disconnected as is her mom's cell phone. Their home looks abandoned. The parents were supposed to be working some construction job around here finishing the inside of a medical office building. I went to the job site to give them the cards and they defaulted on the job.
I know where the game place is. I don't know what they donated the cards to. Jessie and I have racked our brains to try to figure it out. I contacted the game place by phone. They have NO idea what these were donated to but they are activated cards. The company does not want them back. They say they wrote them off and they are done with them.
I feel bad because I cannot figure out what group these were donated to. I found the card when I was cleaning near the computer. I know they were from her because they were in an envelope with a piece of paper with her name and the date she was here. But no return address, no idea what the organization is.
Do I just use the cards to let the kid play games? What do I DO with them? I have called everywhere I can think of, googled the family, checked the white pages.com, the phone book in their town, everything.
Any suggestions? it is $100 worth of gift cards!
