Any US compers?

Not sure if this is the right place for this thread, so apologies if not. I was just wondering if there are any American compers on here, as I sometimes win small US prizes (last was a $25 supermarket voucher) without meaning to and would be good if I could pass them on to someone who could use them, if it happens again

    Check the rules - not meant to give wins to other compers. Has caused too many issues in the past. (Link should be easy to find.)

    You're not meant to give out personal info between users, plus I very much doubt that we'd have many US members on here.


    Do you know of any friends / family / acquaintances that might be going to the US on holiday? You could pass it on to them to use while they were away maybe?

    There's a brilliant charity based in Leeds called the Hearing Fund which helps deaf children -they have close links with the parent charity in the US (which is run by a good friend of mine) supplying hearing aids to kids whose families can't afford them (no NHS out there) as well as to other countries.
    I'm sure they'd make good use of your vouchers -to see the videos of kids hearing for the first time is magical-it's a really worthy cause and I'd be happy to PM you the details of the UK branch if you'd like to donate them.
