Help a friend
One of our members on this Forum is in need of some financial assistance.
This person has strongly resisted any efforts to help, but I can't carry the financial burden alone - I would if I could.
I need to raise the sum of $800 from the members of the Forum, and any other interested parties.
The money will be used to assist with the rebuilding of a bike which has stood for the last TWO YEARS.
Imagine how you would feel, the frustration, watching your baby slowly rotting away, and not having the funds to do anything about it..........and not seeing any hope of ever doing so......That's why I'm trying to help here. The person is a US citizen, and is known to many of you.
Please, Guys and Girls, don't flame this post - it's an honest attempt to help a friend in need (who would NEVER ask for or expect it)- all I ask is
If you're able to help, (no donation is too small)
Send me a PM, and I'll send you a Paypal account number.
I'm doing it this way to avoid embarrassment of the person concerned, and I'd ask that those of you who do help, keep the Paypal number to yourselves - we have too many good detectives on this Forum !!
I've been in personal contact with a couple of the members, and the idea was well received, and donations were forthcoming.
If you can spare a couple of bucks to help a member - give me a call.
Thanks
Pete

RE: Help a friend
I am with Pete in this and backing it 100% ..
Neither of us are from the US as you know , but we both know this guy pretty well , enough to make an effort no mater where he comes from..
We have decided to maintain the anonymity and posting this is a risk as the person concerned may be offended ...but I hope all of you guys and gals will help us to maintain this anonymity as well...
This guy is a really honest, kind and yes is as Pete said, is a young US citizen that most of you know pretty well....
Pete and myself are throwing in the first bucks and we hope you all will just try to stretch a few dollars out in what we know is a hard time in the US at the moment for some ...

RE: Help a friend
I know who it is you speak of, he and I have been going back and forth in emails for a little while now...advice, plans, less expensive alternatives, whatever. Hell, if I didn't live half a nation away I'd be beating on his door and spinning wrenches on his bike myself. Good guy w/ a great heart, I wish I could help with some cha-ching...but with a baby on the way my disposable income is more than a little bit lacking.
