As most of you who visit this site know. we’ve been running an auction for Schelmy to raise funds for her husband’s hospital bills. You can check here for more info.
We are simply astounded at the amount of donations coming in. We didn’t think of doing an auction at first but people have been so generous in donating items and money. People are still sending us stuff to auction which is great! So far we’ve managed to raise 450$ in direct donations (this does not include the auctions, as those are still running until Friday September the 23rd).
We’d like to give a huge shout out to New Moon Director Chris Weitz who emailed us asking how he could help. He will be donating a signed New Moon companion which we will put up for auction on Monday. This isn’t only limited to the Twilight Fandom, Christoph Waltz Fans have also donated. A huge thank you to our affiliate Robert Pattinson UK who have been relentless in helping spread the word.
Shannon has been very busy taking care of her husband. but I’m sure she would like me to thank each and every one of you who has donated, has given items or is helping us spread the word. She is very grateful for everything and says that every little tweet gives them courage to carry on.
In her own words aka DMs sent to me (which I don’t think she’ll mind me sharing):
“We have had a rough couple of days. 😦 The physical therapy has started and there has been a crazy pain to deal with and fever. They were afraid he had infection, then a blood clot. Things finally stabilized this evening. I have been trying to check my phone to follow Operation Help Schelmy. It has been cheering my husband and I even hit the internet quickly to show him the auction site images :-D!!!! You guys are a force of nature. I am so lucky to have an amazing friend like you. *BIGGEST WARM HUGS and LOVE* Please tell everyone I am so touched by their efforts. We can’t get over what you guys are doing! When I went down to help out my DH, I mentioned the chrisweitz donation <3. His eyes teared. This afternoon I showed him the donations. He really understands how generous these are. People’s treasures given to help us. It means so much. Every RT, Every sweet well wish…it gives us hope and strength. I am sooo crying right now. ❤ Happy warm tears…don’t worry….you have made me so happy. These kind ppl ….I want to hug everyone…”
There are so many items, that there’s something for everyone! Signed books, Twilight items, Rob items, Kristen items, Taylor items, etc…
Two new/old videos from the Water for Elephants press junket.
“Interview with Robert Pattinson from the Water for elephants junket in LA, April 2011. One of two interviews that day for swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.This is an unedited version – in the beginning I give him a book by a swedish Nobel prize winning author, but never had the time to talk to him about books.” @mariaalindholm

As most of you know Shannon aka Schelmy ’s husband had an accident and fell 25 feet to the ground a few weeks ago. He survived but had many injuries which required surgeries.
Unfortunately they were in the process of renewing their insurance when this happened and a few days before the accident, their insurance ran out… Shannon received her 1st hospital bill this week. It’s 136,000.00$ US. The hospital has refused to negotiate a payment plan and has given them 30 days to pay this amount. For this family, this could mean losing it all. Shannon is one of the most caring and sweetaest persons I know. She always puts herself out there to help everyone. Now it’s our turn to do the same for her. If you were in New York City at the Water for Elephants Premiere you might have met her. She was with us.
So, we have absolutely no clue what we’re doing so we’re starting off with one auction today to test things out. This auction is for a 2009 copy of Vanity Fair featuring Robert Pattinson on the cover. The magazine was donated by DreamySim1.
Over the past few days we’ve been asking you to donate things for an auction for Shannon (original post here). Many of you have pulled through and offered to donate items. So far here’s what we have:

LIFE IS THE MOST SPECTACULAR SHOW ON EARTH
Witness The Epic Tale of Forbidden Love Starring
Academy Award® Winner Reese Witherspoon and
Robert Pattinson On Blu-ray and DVD November 1
Take a journey back in time with the romantic tale based on Sara Gruen’s New York Times #1 Best-Seller novel of the same name, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, coming to Blu-ray and DVD on November 1st from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Starring Academy Award®-winner Reese Witherspoon (Walk The Line), Robert Pattinson (Twilight series) and Oscar®-winner Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds), the film presents an epic tale of forbidden love in a magical place filled with adventure, wonder and great danger. Showcasing the decadence of a bohemian circus and the majesty of its animals against the backdrop and beauty of a bygone era, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS makes the ideal holiday gift idea for your favorite film buff, fashionista or book-lover!
Devastated by the sudden death of his parents at the height of The Depression, a young dreamer from the wrong side of the tracks, Jacob Jankowski (Pattinson), abandons his veterinary studies at Cornell University. With no other family, no house, and no money, Jacob stows away on a train carrying the circus performers of The Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Hired as a veterinarian to care for the troupe’s animals, Jacob is temporarily filled with the promise of an exciting life that comes with a traveling circus troupe. However, as he builds a rapport and falls in love with the star of the show, Marlena (Witherspoon), they become prey to the circus’s owner, Marlena’s violent and abusive husband August (Waltz). As the circus begins to crumble from within and against all odds, Jacob and Marlena come together and fall in love through their compassion for a special elephant. With their love on the line, Jacob and Marlena come to a crossroads that will forever change their destiny.
Directed by critically-acclaimed filmmaker Francis Lawrence (Constantine), WATER FOR ELEPHANTS features fantastic supporting performances from Paul Schneider (Lars and the Real Girl), Jim Norton (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), Mark Povinelli (The Polar Express), Richard Brake (Batman Begins), and Academy Award®-nominee Hal Holbrook (Into the Wild).
WATER FOR ELEPHANTS will be available on Blu-ray and DVD in the U.S. Pre-book is September 21st.
