Help needed for a member on hard times.

**Bloodyaussie** · 19th March 2013, 10:35 PM

This has not come easy and have spoken back and forward to others about this but I know no other way?

We have a member and many will know who I am talking about who has had a run of shit luck and has made a few poor decisions that has lead to where he is now in respect to his car.

He has had serious lung cancer and is not able to do what he wants for work to provide as insurance will not touch him for 5 years.... he has a positive up beat attitude but I can tell it is really starting to weigh him down and now with another baby on the way and his wife soon not being able to work the budget will get tighter and with it the pressures on him.

He made some bad decisions with the purchase of his new car and it has turned into a money pit with so many things wrong with it.... the latest being the clutch.

Now this member and his family enjoy nothing more than getting out there and enjoying the bush and 4wding and is one real escape for them I feel I must help where I can.

The members I have spoken to are pissed at the situation and were more than willing to chuck in some coin to help get his rig back on the road.

Now I am not sure 100% what is needed at this point but thought if we could throw around the hat to help out and get them mobile again... not asking to put food in the mouths but to help with there car.

I myself will chuck in $50 as will another member (up to them if they say who they are)...

Also a suggestion by AB was maybe a workshop day to help in that way?? I know we have a few smart mechanics on here that would be willing to help.

Ab even offered his house to party at!!!!!!

Now I dont know if many of you are willing and it is not like this happens everyday but I feel this is right!!!!

I can set it up so I use my paypal or something .. not sure??

I'm not rich but I know I have it good and I cant sit back and do nothing,every little bit helps.

Payment via Paypal with User name as your reference to : jpgpz at bigpond . com

If paying this way please tick the box so I dont get lumped with the fees.

or to: Bloodyaussie
Po box 2060 Lalor plaza,
Lalor, 3075
Vic

Must be addressed as shown or ends up elsewhere ...... even $5 helps.... thanks

I'd be more than happy to throw in as much as I can spare at the end of the pay fortnight. Gotta help a fellow 4wder, and patroller none the less.

Look into it.... still need to work out all that is needed to get the car going again??

Be happy to chip in with a few bucks, be best if I stayed off the tools, would go smoother that way.

**Clunk** · 19th March 2013, 11:20 PM

Workout what's needed and I'll chip in once I can

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

Hey BA - my work (as in I

) am in for $500.00. I think I know who you are referring to but PM me mate and I can arrange the payment collection straight into yours/his account..... I'm kinda lucky that I have some coin to spare and have been helped out by so many in my life I would love nothing better than to give some back.

Or maybe let me know what needs doing, arrange the mechanic and I'll fix it up.... within reason of course but let me know.

Mate I got an idea who it is I am happy to chuck in as well, just let me know and it will be done as soon as I get bank details, we all need a helping hand from time to time and I am sure to lend a hand where I can even tho it is only monetary help I am sure you will put it to good use.

**Yendor** · 20th March 2013, 12:15 AM

I will also kick in some coin to help out.
