Thanks to @coderanger for helping me out (so quickly). He was kind enough to say no to the gift, so on @opscode's behalf, I donated a green energy biogas stove for a family through Heifer (I guess the cow thing was a thing).
If you want to donate one yourself - https://secure1.heifer.org/gift-catalog/stoves.html
The irony didn't escape me that the person who helped me has multiple usernames and I couldn't find @kantrn on github until I remembered the @coderanger thing ;)
