Some fall on hard Times in life

I would like to help out a deserving member here who has had a couple years of hard times. He is a true Oldsmobile Hobbiest and a member of our community here.
If anyone here would like to contribute a few bucks to help out our member, I will put it toward a Summit Gift Card and send it out to the person in the U.S.A.
I will keep track of everyone that contributes and post it by months end (may) First week of June at the latest, I will also post who the person it will be sent to on that date.
You could PM me and let me know if you would like to donate a few bucks and also post here please.
I will be away for our long weekend but Ill be here next week Tuesday evening, please keep this thread going while I'm away so that many members have a chance to see this.
You contribution will be greatly appreciated!!
Eric

I'm taking off for the weekend, won't be able to get to the PM's until next Tuesday evening.
I just hope that I can remain healthy and accident free until retirement.
I don't know what I would do if something went wrong in life, my savings certainly wouldn't carry us into retirement.
Cheers to all that help out!!
Eric

We received your PM Brain and responded.
I can't tell you guys how happy we are to have you all on board with this.
I was going to send something myself and kicked around asking you guys if you wanted to contribute.
I have no regrets with asking you all to help out now if you could, you guys are amazing.
Cheers guys
Eric

I'm going to wrap this up on Sunday June 8th , We have 5 guys that have donated for the cause.
A total of $110.00 so far.
I know a few more guys have PM'd me so Ill keep this up for another week, please don't feel obligated.
I was hoping to give a gift of $500.00, We still plan on doing so, We don't mind putting in the rest of the money towards a nice gift. You help has been great guys
I know it will help out a little and be very appreciated .

Thanks
Eric

I would like to thank the 6 guys here who gave a little to help our member out.
We will be away for the weekend, upon our return my wife will be purchasing the gift card and sending it off.(Monday)
Given that 6 members contributed we will not post the members name to whom the gift card is going here in the forum.
I will ask our member to PM each of you that helped in making this a great gift.
I'll post each member that helped out here along with the amount, if you would not like your name posted please let me know in a PM prior to Sunday evening.

I'm happy to announce that with our 6 members and myself we are able to purchase a $500.00 Summit gift card .

Cheers
Eric

Eric,
Thanks to you and Christine for helping a fellow enthusiast. I'm actually a little surprised by the low number or donors. When I first saw your post I thought you would be inundated with guys lining up to contribute.
Hope this gets the recipient over the hump.

Rick

Hi Rick,
We were hoping to reach the $1000.00 mark TBH. $500.00 doesn't really go far today when you get behind.
I do know that it will help out tremendously. Even though ther was only 6 of us, we all put a nice gift card together that will assist in car repairs.
I thank-you all!!

Eric
