Help needed for a member on hard times.

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

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.

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.

I will also kick in some coin to help out.

Yea I'm in too, time and money. My skills are not great but I'm more than happy to pitch in some labor wherever I can! I'm not sure who it is either but I know if we can help him out and that gives him some joy and peace then I'm all in!

X12.. send us your PayPal and ill put threw some cash.

And I big hand for Jas and everyone. That's tops mate.
Great to see such a positive attitude..

........... x 2

Count me in.....

I'm in as well, just need an account to transfer some $s too

You're a good bloke Jonathan. Count me in.


If you're happy and you know it tap a post!

Like the song says - lets get this party started

Let us know when you organise it, I'm in.
So do we call you the patrology pope? Nice work mate!






.........on the move

Let us know where to send it mate and I'm in for some $$ as well.

Well I woke up this morning unable to find the thread but when I did wow you guys are such beautiful people (I mean that in a non touchy bottom way).

I will get my wife to handle this as she is an accountant and of very high morals that she will make sure this is done right..

I think paypal would be the easiest but not suited to all... would putting my email address on this thread would be a bad idea?? a lot of PM's otherwise??

BA,

Mate if you decide to use your email address make sure you have something like bloodyaussie at isp.com.au

It should stop you getting spammed, otherwise just put up with the PM's and then give those who are interested your email address.

Mate also when you get it sorted count me in to help with some coin, not sure how much I can do at the moment as things are a little tight, but happy to help out when I can.

Good luck with it all

Mark

I'm in, plus I get to use my pointing chair

Thanks mate... I dont know how to do the isp thingy??

Every little bit counts even $5 helps...... thanks!!!

BA,

What I mean is, if your email address is bloodyaussie@bigpond.com.au write it like this

bloodyaussie at bigpond.com.au (bigpond being your internet service provider-ISP).

See how the second example isn't a clickable link, should stop the spammers

Hopefully that makes more sense.

Mark

Once again a testament to such a good forum and great bunch of ppl. You know I am in for some $$$ and will be more than will to help out mechanically

Thanks for that....

All done mate, tansferred a pineapple...

Now I am more than happy to have a workshop at my house for the day, put a bbq on and we can all help out.

Except we will need someone in charge who knows how to properly replace the clutch as it would end up a disaster if I chuck it in....LMAO

Anyone in Vic who can help us out would be great!!!!

Count me in!!

Bigrig flying to Melbourne to help out at a workshop meet!!!!

Once we work out details, I'll do my very best to be there if someone can grab me from the airport (AB) and put me up at their house for the weekend (AB), and fill me full of food and grog .... (AB) ... lol

All of the above is fine apart from the grog bit...lol....Your like a hoover....LMAO

I have no idea who's car it is that needs the work, but have sent a small donation via Paypal. Hope it all works out.

Cuppa

Count me in guys, donation on the way. Been there, done that, I know what it's like to facing a mountain.

WOW......... I have now been offered a workshop and the mechanic to install the clutch for free if the clutch is available by Easter Saturday...... the member wants remain anonymous and says this is his way of helping out.

Now if we can get this side of it done then the other things can be done on a separate workshop day, having a workshop to do the clutch would be a massive help as it is a mongrel to do while on the ground as many of you know!!!

I also need members to please leave there username when donating as I have no idea who John Smith is???????

Done via paypal, great to see everybody getting behind this.
