Need help SERIOUS

[EvolvedRegal]

I figure since x-mas is right around the corner and everyone is pretty much holed up for the winter. Now would be a great time to help someone who truly needs help. I just got a call from one of my family members to see if there is anyway I could help this family, I said yes I could help in anyway possible.

This family is being devestated by a disease that there is no cure for, no drugs, nothing will help. It is a genetic disease that will sadly take their lives.

This family lives about 2-3 miles from where I live. What I am asking of all of you to try and help out a family who seriously needs it. They aren't your typical family who beggs or *****es and moans that the gov't didn't do anything.


So what ever you can to help Im sure the family would be greatful. Here is their website. http://schlaisfamily.org/

Very sad story....

I figure some of us can get together and and least get their van running. I mean c'mon it's the holidays.

whats wrong w/ the van ?

[EvolvedRegal]

Not sure. I sent the family an e-mail with my contact info. I will post it up once I find out more info. It's a 1990 Astro van, so that says many things to me,

1. 4.3L
2. might be AWD (will present a problem)

If you guys want to help, I am going to fully fund this. Something tells me this is something I have to do.

The family lives right in New Berlin so it's pretty centralized for most people on here.

What if everyone here donates 1-5 dollars. Thats should make a difference right? I know this time of year I can't afford much.

If you want to go ahead, but I would really like for someone to go with me to hhelp and get their van running, winter sucks without a car.

* donation of $1000 in repairs to the Schlais' 1994 Toyota Corolla

Sounds like they have one or two running cars. Maybe a cash donation would be better? I say we all try to donate $$ like Mike suggested.
