idc Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I already said it on facebook, but I want to say it again: That's exactly what I love about our amazing community so much! Thanks for doing that, I bet it will give him a lot of power and energy!
reckless Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I think it's amazing what you are doing for this kid. I'll try to help as I can, I'm sure he and his family will appreciate the community's support.
DecanoLP Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Don't know if this has been said yet, but Rob (Linkin Park drummer) and maybe Chester (Linkin Park singer) will visit him!
bollard_11 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Don't know if this has been said yet, but Rob (Linkin Park drummer) and maybe Chester (Linkin Park singer) will visit him! Rob already did, I think Chester is today . . . .
DecanoLP Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Rob already did, I think Chester is today . . . . Yeah, damn time zones are confusing me I'm so happy they are able to do it since they're heading over to Europe tomorrow I think.
ChuckTaylors Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 This is such a great idea! Can't wait to make a card.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 It's great what you guys are doing! I'd definitely send him a card, but it wouldn't arrive on time, it usually takes at least two weeks for cards to arrive in the US from here...
greendaytone Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 If you want to do something on your computer, you could always e-mail it to Kat. She might be able to print it off to send to them. It's great what you guys are doing! I'd definitely send him a card, but it wouldn't arrive on time, it usually takes at least two weeks for cards to arrive in the US from here... Kat just posted this on GDA: And if you live outside the US, don't worry... your message will still be sent if it doesn't arrive by the 17th. Show Kyle some true Green Day Family Love about the best band in the world with the best fans in the world. ~Kat

Zelda Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 This is one reason why Green Day fans are among the best out there. We don't know Kyle, yet we're sending in donations and doing whatever we can to make sure he gets to meet the band. This community is truly amazing. Hang in there, Kyle. <3
desertrose Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Just watched a video of Chester meeting Kyle and family. new video with Chester of Linkin Park and a mention of Green Day
Johnny Higher Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Dearly Kyle, are you listening? Can you hear them singing? Sending a message of the light So don't put away your burning light You know what's worth fighting for When it's not worth dying for When it will be the time to leave and let die And you'll can't get another try When you look into the past You want to make it last Everyone likes you Nobody left you We are all for you Sing this song Fourteen years has gone so fast Summer has come and passed Nobody ever said that life was fair Just know we was there You're the son of rage and love Whatever who's above Nobody's perfect and I stand accused For the lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse Everyone likes you Nobody left you We are all for you Sing this song
Fuzz Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Copied from GDA's news post The past few days we've been talking about Kyle Rodas, a 14 year old Green Day fan from California who was diagnosed with brain cancer last year. His last wish was to meet members of his favorite bands, Green Day, Linkin Park, and Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy called Kyle on Tuesday, and said he'd go visit when he was done touring in Europe. A couple members of Linkin Park went by to visit Kyle yesterday (or Tuesday evening), and yesterday Adrienne sent out a tweet asking for contact info for Kyle (which we forwarded) and then late last night Billie sent the following tweet. It's been awesome to see members of each of these bands reach out to Kyle and his family. Here's a note I got from Kyle's dad shortly after we posted the story on GDA. It's been incredible hearing from Green Day fans around the world interested in helping in whatever way they can. Yesterday we [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/2368/]posted info[/turl] on how you could send a letter or card to Kyle and his family (you still have just over a week till the deadline June 17th), and we're also [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/2368/]collecting donations through PayPal[/turl] to help Kyle and his family. Today we've decided to step up our commitment in the hopes that it will encourage more people to get involved in some way. First, for each donation we receive via PayPal, PayPal takes a percentage as a fee. We've decided that GDA will donate whatever amount those fees total to make sure 100% of the money sent in makes it to the Rodas family. Secondly, we're going to be donating 10% of all revenue we've made from [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/merch/gda/]GDA merchandise[/turl] for the month of June to the American Cancer Society. If you bought something from us earlier in the month, 10% of whatever you paid will automatically be donated. And of course, 10% of any orders placed from today till June 30th will also be donated. A huge thanks to the members of Green Day, Linkin Park and Ozzy Osbourne, for helping this kid's dream come true. And another huge thanks to all the Green Day fans who have reached out and wanted to help in some way. Be sure to [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/2368/]read this post[/turl] for details on sending a letter or donating via PayPal.
