Request: Knitting Sticks & leftover yarns (Coquitlam Maillardville) Hello, last year, I had used Trash Nothing for the FIRST TIME IN OVER A YEAR since downloading it, when a family member recommended that I take up a hobby, and when she recommended KNITTING OUT OF ALL HOBBIES (BTW, I am a young MAN :|), I was EXTREMELY HESITANT to buy a new set of knitting needles and some yarn. I thought that I would finally try out the app, and within days, a nice lady contacted me, and even travelled out to a close skytrain station (CLOSE TO ME), Lougheed Town Station, when she told me that she lived in SURREY!? (SUCH NICE LADY) Sorry for the LONG WINDED LIFE STORY, anyways, Here again, inquiring for any leftover yarn from a previous project, and, if you no longer require them, your knitting needles that you no longer wish to keep anymore As, if I get good enough, I was thinking about starting a knitting group at the hospital where I received my cancer treatments, maybe create some mittens and wool hats for the other children receiving chemo / radiation therapies (I was still a minor when my diagnosis/treatment occurred, and was at the BC Children’s Hospital Thank you all for taking the time to read my LONG WINDED post, John :)

Request: Board games of ANY KIND (Coquitlam Maillardville) Hello, I am a young adult living with disabilities, attained in his late teens - early twenties, thus did not get a real chance to develop any of my executive functioning skills I was recently assigned a community support worker, who will be helping me with many things, amongst one of them, try to fine tune my executive functioning skills, A LITTLE LATE, We were searching online, what I could do to improve my executive functioning skills and found that playing board games (chess, settlers of catan were the two specific games mentioned on a University of Illinois page about developing executive functioning skills in adults page). I, even tried to quickly draw a chess board, and sixteen pieces to play a couple of rounds of chess with my community support worker, but had trouble in the middle, getting confused who’s paper drawn piece was who’s :( If anyone has a chess set, or any other board games that they no longer play on, I would graciously travel to the end of the earth (or a transit bus/sky train station near by your location :) ) to receive your gift Thank you very much for reading my post, And I hope that you ALL have (or had, since I am posting this at 5pm :S) a GREAT DAY :D John

Request: Smartphone battery replacement kit (Coquitlam Maillardville) Hello, I SWEAR I has purchased one of these several years ago, and I SWEAR I store the kit in the bottom drawer of my desktop drawer (where I store a million of obscure gadgets that I ‘could reuse’, But after an hour of going through the same USELESS CRAP, I have given up and decided on trying on asking Trash Nothing, if anyone might have replaced a battery on their smartphone / tablet / etc and didn’t need one anymore? The replacement kit that I purchased over a million years (let’s make that five million minutes, which seems to be around ten years ago lol) looks something (EXACTLY) like this kit on Amazon, () If anyone just replaced a battery on their smartphone, tablet, OR YOUR CAR BATTERY WITH A SIMILAR KIT :P, and don’t need it anymore, I will be FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT if you might pass it on to me :D!

Free: Foldable Rear Band Headset (Coquitlam Maillardville) Expired Hi, I found this antique, computer peripheral (headset w/ mic) My sister was going to throw it out when she stopped her online class teaching for the Vancouver School District back in 2010?-ish, Being the hoarder I am, I immediately said to my sister, “Hey, let me hold on to it, I’ll use it when I want to take an online class to upgrade a high school class grade” That was. . . Sixteen years ago. . . I had taken a few online classes, yet, NEVER REALLY NEEDED A HEADSET WITH MIC, AND HAD PRESERVED THIS ANTIQUE IN THE BOTTOM DRAWER OF MY DESKTOP SIDE DRAWER for sixteen years lol I know that these are virtually useless for regular people, who all have a headphone w mic that they got free with their smartphones. But if you have a job that requires them, I am willing to give it to anyone who needs it, free of cost

Request: Knitting Needle and Yarn (Coquitlam Maillardville) Expired Hello, A thirty sumthing year old GUY, who was a brain cancer patient, currently living with MANY other medical conditions that the GROSSLY delayed diagnosis left me in remission of the cancer, which causes CHRONIC FATIGUE on a daily, Hourly, minutely, SECONDLY BASIS, that has made me bed ridden for my entire last year of high school, and about half of my twenties, and NOW bed ridden due to chronic migraines X( Though about picking up a hobby that I could do in my house / room / bed :P Now, I don’t have ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE knitting. . . and planning on learning from How To videos from YouTube, so I don’t think I want to commit spending my minuscule amount of income assistance that I receive from the government on a new knitting needle and yarn, But if any of you have a pair of needles and any leftover yarn from a previous project, and aren’t interested in knitting anymore, :) WOULD BE GRRRRRREATLY APPRECIATED!!! and the first project that seems ‘presentable’ WILL BE YOURS :D!

Free: Foldable Rear Band Headset (Coquitlam Maillardville) Expired Hello, a headset With a mic, that an older sibling used to use, MORE THAN A DECADE AGO, when she used to be a high school online school teacher Saw that she was going to trash it, and my HOARDER INSTINCTS JUMPED INTO ACTION and kept it in my desktop drawers for the past FOURTEEN TO FIFTEEN YEARS with NEVER USING IT, NOT EVEN REMEMBERING THAT I HAD KEPT IT IN THERE!!! I tried opening it up, and it seems to be in good condition, AND I just tried plugging it in to see if the headset actually still works, and music still flowed out! I am going to assume that the mic should be good as well

Request: Old/Damaged Smart Devices (Coquitlam Maillardville) Expired Hello, I have gotten into the joy of fixing up my old iPhones, and some android tablets that my sisters used to use before they left it with my mother, so she can use them, but turned out that all of them had crap batteries I am thinking about fixing up some usable devices and donating them to the children/teens of the BC Children’s Hospital, who don’t have a smart phone / tablet, for whatever reasons, IF I CAN. ANYWAYS, hoping that a young pre-teen who doesn’t have a smartphone, have to be secluded from their friends back at school or something :P As I mentioned, I HAVE experience fixing up several of my own smart devices, so unless the device has a screen that is shattered to smithereens, and the hardware has been MELTED IN A VOLCANO, I am willing to take anything that you could throw at me :P Thanks everyone, and have a GREAT, WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC DAY, AND DIG DEEP WITHIN YOUR DESKTOP DRAWERS FOR OLD DEVICES THAT ARE JUST GATHERING DUST ;) John

Request: Old bicycle (Coquitlam Maillardville) Expired Hello, I am planning on starting a not for profit bicycle recovery organization, that could donate bicycles to 1)(CHILDREN’S) hospitals so that children receiving medical treatments could still learn to ride a bike, 2) income assistance offices so that parents who can’t afford brand new bicycles for their children could obtain a ‘born again’ bike for their children, and etc BUT, BEFORE I COULD COMMIT FULLY TO STARTING THE NPO, I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF ACTUALLY REMOVING RUST FROM AN OLD RUSTY BIKE (or EVEN, HOW TO FIND A BIKE FROM A BIG BALL OF RUST!?), HOW TO STRAIGHTEN OUT MANGLED BICYCLE WHEELS, AND JUST REVIVING A BICYCLE IN GENERAL! I will take anything that could help my situation that you could help me with, just the body/frame of a bicycle, maybe an extra wheel that you’d purchased, which had since gotten pretzeled in the garage somehow, Thanks for your support everyone :D, John
