Taken from my shop.
All proceeds from this store go directly to those who need it most. This store is dedicated to the saving and giving away of Tennas, clearly the best Petpet in existance. These Tennas are then sent directly to the victims of scammers, hackers or unfair freezings. This means that you are indirectly helping to make a better Neopia.
Many ask why I chose Tennas as the petpet to give. Well, it all started when I was a wee Newbie. I was walking about Neopia, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, when I suddenly found myself looking at an empty inventory. My purse had been shaken of every last Neopoint... the only thing that hadn't been lost were my pets. 10,000 Neopoints won from Scratchcards and a Blue Paintbrush... down the drain.
Scared, I ran to the bank only to find that it had been scraped clean. I couldn't believe that anyone would do such a thing.
In despiration, I went to the Neoboards and told my story. Nobody seemed to care... nobody but one. His name was Saint. He had a 19-month account, so I was surprised that he would bother to talk to someone like me. He got the story out of me... then I found a Tenna had materialized in my account.
He said it was to help me get back on my feet, then vanished. I attached this petpet to my Lupe, and named it Lala. It symbolized hope, and all that was well in Neopia.
The months that followed were hard, but eventually I became rich. I could have replaced Lala... but I didn't. He was like a guardian, watching over me and reminding me that there was hope in the world.
One day, I was drifting through the Neoboards when I spotted it. A cry for help. I went to their board... and they had been scammed of every last Neopoint. I Neomailed them and let them tell their story, then sent them a Tenna.
To help them get back on their feet.
Aww.
I usually give away Feepits. I guess we have our signature petpets, then.
