 Rob and Ryan Walters will do just about anything for their little sister Kristin.

You'd think singing a little Celine Dion might be the extent of it, but that was just the beginning.

"I have a lot of time to think being in a wheelchair," Kristin said.

She has muscular dystrophy.

She's not able to babysit, or mow the yard like other kids might do to earn a little extra cash for Christmas presents. But, she wants to give, so she got a little creative with how to earn that cash.

Although one of the brothers was reluctant at first, both agreed to the Craigslist date in order to help their sister raise money for Christmas gifts.

"So I called my brother Rob who lives in Nevada and said, 'What would you think of the idea if we sold a date with you and Ryan,'" she said.

Yes, for one night with her twin brothers, Kristin set up a site on Craigslist to auction them off.

The brothers said the date is not too much to ask.

"I'd do anything for my little sister," Rob said. "A date to get her a little bit of money is definitely not too much to ask."

Ryan took a bit more convincing.

"I agreed to it," he said. "Reluctantly, but I agreed to it."

Kristin said she's just looking for some nice girls to take out her brothers so she can have a chance to give a little back to the people who have given her so much.

"It's the whole spirit of Christmas is to give and receive, but the giving part is what's so great," she said.

Kristin's idea for the date includes dinner at a nice restaurant, drinks and transportation. The auction was supposed to end Sunday, but the deadline has been extended.

Bids close Friday, Dec. 19.
