We’re Making Progress

Adoption is a long and expensive progress. We’re thankful to God  that each day we get closer and closer to a child being placed with their family. We’ve been quiet here at Sid Savers while we’ve had to wait to see how all of this will play out. We’re  excited to see the direction this is going in.  

It’s time for us to promote the Adopt-A-Tile fundraiser again!

We want to thank all of the Sid Dicken’s Memory Block collectors who have made generous offers in the past. We realize the secondary market is somewhat soft. But, we hope you will continue to make offers that are above the current sales for this very worthy cause.

Blessings,

Ron and Teri

***Offers that don’t reflect a reasonable secondary market value or higher will not be considered. If you are uncertain about the secondary market value of any tile, visit Sidclopedia. The owner of this site has put many hours into this very useful resource for Sid Dickens Memory Block Collectors. However, while we consider the current selling trend on eBay and through private sales, neither dictate the final cost of a tile.

Sid Savers

We’ve had a few requests from collectors wanting to purchase Sid Savers directly from us. When we made the commitment to donate all proceeds to Children’s Hunger Fund we decided at that time to sell exclusively to retailers.  Here are our reasons why:

*Retailers have already written out a check to Children’s Hunger Fund for their purchase, and we are grateful to them for supporting such a worthy cause! The more Sid Savers the retailers sell, the more money Children’s Hunger Fund gets!

 *Retailers can pack  and ship them faster and for less money than we can. We’re learning that this step is very time consuming. =)

 *For us to accept payment for Sid Savers could raise question as to what we are doing with the money. We desire to be held above reproach.  We do not want there to be even a hint of  personal gain on our part.

 Thank you for understanding our position.

There’s A Method To Our Madness! =)

Many have asked us why we are selling our collection. Those who know us, personally and through the forums, know very well that we have taken great pleasure in these beautiful pieces of art. We never thought we would part with one tile, much less all of them. Visitors in our home are always intrigued and curious about the individual tiles and the collective groupings.  Our collection has filled almost every room of our home with warmth, elegance and beauty.

We think Mr. Dickens is a genius!  We love his work and his creativity!! Obviously you do also and that’s why you’re here.  Although we have never had the honor of meeting him, we have talked to many collectors and retailers that have. They all agree that he is gracious, humble and genuinely cares for others.

Most people know that all of our proceeds go to Children’s Hunger Fund.  The more we have exposed ourselves to the needs of children, the more we are compelled to do. So, this brings me to the million dollar question. Why are we selling our collection??

Our hope is that the sale of our collection will help fund the adoption of one child living in an orphanage.  That’s it in a nutshell.

Sid Saver Retailers

We love our Sid Saver Retailers! Remember if you purchase Sid Savers from any retailer other than one listed on our Retailers page, you are NOT getting authentic Sid Savers and no money is going to Children’s Hunger Fund.

Retailers that carry Sid Savers write out a check to Children’s Hunger Fund, send it to us and we forward it on to CHF. They are free to sell or give away Sid Savers.

Retailers that purchase Sid Savers are making a contribution to a worthy cause. They are heros to many children! Thanks to those generous retailers for the many dollars you have given to Children’s Hunger Fund! You guys are awesome!

Retailers that are not authorized to sell or give away Sid Savers are taking money away from Children’s Hunger Fund. We profit absolutely nothing from the sales of Sid Savers. In fact, we go in the hole in purchasing the materials. But, it’s a great cause and we are happy to help in meeting the needs of children all around the world.

Store owners are welcome to contact us if they would like to join us in supporting Children’s Hunger Fund. This not only benefits children, but it’s a tax deduction for the retailer. Now that’s a happy story!
