I'd like to Nominate Fotogirl!
VMK meant a lot to me growing up as it is installed in my head as a large chunk of my childhood. It created opportunities for friends, happiness and a whole lot of fun. Recently over the past couple of months, I decided to try and complete a full VMK card collection as a remembrance of my childhood and also as a remembrance of my current goals and dreams. This was no easy task though, for I barely had any cards, but even worse, these cards were rarely seen. They tend to pop up on eBay ever so often, but at the time, nothing was available. I took my efforts to MyVMK to see if any members could possibly have these cards. Various people had them, but not too many. Once in a blue moon I'd find someone..... but later be told that "their parents threw them out last week", or they "donated them to someone and refused to point me in that persons direction". It was almost impossible, and sometimes frustrating when those people previously claimed to have tons of duplicates of every card. People tend to be pretty stingy with Disney Memorabilia and it is rightfully so, but it certainly was not fun being mislead and dragged on.
It took a while but one day, I magically ran into Fotogirl. We had never met before, but for some reason they were eager to help! They took a ton of time out of their day to help me on my journey and to be fair, gave me basically almost the entire collection because they had so many duplicates. The best part of the story, and why I wanted to nominate Fotogirl, is that they wouldn't even let me pay for them. They refused any sort of payment whether it was virtual or real. Nonetheless they didn't even let me pay for shipping. Out of the goodness of their heart, they just wanted to help me. It was a highlight of my year back in 2018, and has meant more than I can even describe in words. They may just be cards from a silly old game, but Fotogirl's act of kindness was the most generous things that has happened to me while being in this community, and I feel like they deserve to be recognized.
Thanks Fotogirl
I really appreciate you!
