Paying it Forward...Bond Style

Folks, I have been lucky enough to have purchased a Tom Ford cardigan in my size (seems the last of its kind) and as you can imagine I am over the moon about it. That all being said, I wanted to do something to pay forward the moment. SO, I have my black ZARA cardigan with the correct leather buttons in my closet, which I have only worn twice. It will fit up to a size 42 jacket USA size or a medium fit person. I am going to give this Zara away to someone on the boards. FREE.

But here is the rub...I want to give this to a college goer who finds that money is tight because eductaion is more important...or perhaps you had a rough financial year and this cardigan might shine a brighter light on it...In other words I want to send this to someone who could use and deserve this. I will also pay for shipping. Please let me know.

    Does a doctoral (graduate) student count? :)

    I'll uh, pay it forward down the line with a free neuropsych assessment to anyone here with an unfortunate case of a TBI...

    Glad you're now comfortable with the Ford.

    And a very nice gesture.

    I was a very poor doctoral student once - glad I made it.
    What stage are you in? Got a topic yet? Good luck on your dissertation.

    texas (or should I say Dr. Texas? =D),
    Got a few years to go... my degree is clinical so I have a few externships in between me and the degree, along with the usual research requirements. Haven't got a formal dissertation topic filed yet, although everything I'm doing now will ultimately go towards it.

    Well this is very nice. I mean, this is very very nice.

    Do you have the black TF cardigan or the blue one?

    Grr...I go away from the boards for a few days and I miss out. I actually had a shot at this one.

    Still, this is very kind David, may whoever got the cardigan enjoy it.
