Help from the Tiger Family


Dec 21, 2022, 7:49 AM

In 2015 while I was in Afghanistan, I was unfortunately part of a rescue operation for a helicopter that had crashed with 9 service members onboard. Even though we were able to extract all personnel onboard, 5 of the passengers didn't make it. One of those that was killed was Air Force MSgt Gregory Kuhse. MSgt Kuhse (38 at the time) had a wife, Torri, and 4 kids (Madelinfe -20, Eliana -12, Tristan -7, and Caleb -5). This is the absolute sweetest family on Earth!

Today, MSgt Kuhse's wife, Torri, is attempting to start a small floral business. This single mother is funding it with her own money, but is also looking for some help with start-up costs.

I hate asking people for favors, especially around the holidays, but if you would like, please donate to this American family that has given up a huge piece of their lives for all of us. Even if it's $5! If anyone can find success in a small business, it's Torri, and she deserves the opportunity to have everything she needs to make it happen.

Thank you all so much! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Men at 25 play football. Men at 40 play tennis. Men at 60 play golf. Have you noticed as men get older their balls get smaller.

OK, as I watch her Go Fund Me page, this young lady is at $2111 on a goal of $2500. Christmas Eve is right around the corner and I want her to have a nice Christmas so here is the deal. If she is still short by Friday evening, I will make up whatever difference there is.

To all my Tnet brethren who have already contributed... THANK YOU! And to any others who want to give this young lady a nice Christmas present, your contributions will be very welcomed.

Merry Christmas everyone!

place and have a couple drinks, that's $200. Right? Surely most of us can afford that for a good cause. And if not, and some people are in a bind at the moment (and I've been there) then every $10 counts.

As of this morning, we are at $2206 on a goal of $2500 so less than $300 away from making this young lady's Christmas very special.

Any support you can give would really be appreciated!

Re: Help from the Tiger Family

It is almost 5 pm ET on the 23rd and we are at $2381 vs. our goal of $2500. We want to wrap this up by the end of the day tomorrow, Christmas Eve, so we can give this young lady a really nice Christmas present.

We are currently $119 away. I will give another update in the morning. Thank you TNet gang for your generosity!

You are an officer and a gentleman. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Way to go TNetters... you guys ROCK!

If you feel so inclined, let's give her a little extra to help out with her business. Either way, thank you all for finding the Christmas spirit and the Giving spirit. I know this family will really appreciate it.

God Bless and Go Tigers!

UPDATE on this - she's having a tough time locking one

down & delivered for the price she has raised.


Tremendous response, though. And I'm guessing a lot of it was from right here.


Great job Clemson Family.
