Hello All! I wanted to start a thread here in an attempt to help out a fellow member and Olds owner. With over 2200 views, I think many people have heard what’s been going on with Kyle's (“Kyle’s77Cutlass”) family, but here’s a quick recap:


His 11 yr-old son’s muscular health has been deteriorating rapidly and he was not able to obtain adequate, timely help up in Canada, where he lives. He moved quickly to line-up the best assistance he could find in the US knowing most, if not all, costs will be coming from his pocket. He drove down to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN with his wife and son back on 12/2 and has set-up shop in hotels while his son, Kelvin, undergoes a barrage of tests. There is a lot of uncertainty how long they’ll need to be there but it’s clear they’ll be there as long as they need to be.


**UPDATE 12/14: Kyle and his family are now back home in Canada! Please see his thread (linked below) for updates to his son's situation.**


So here I sit, in my NJ home, with all my belongings and my 2 healthy sons watching this drama unfold. An earlier post on his thread (https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/clubhouse/71760-mayoclinic-need-advice-please-2.html) from member “firefrost gold” inquiring about what Kelvin liked to do or read gave me the idea that I’d like to help these people out, even if it’s only a little. So I PM’d Kyle for his PayPal account info and I’ve since sent him a small monetary gift, hoping it’ll buy them a nice dinner or maybe even something to help keep their boy’s spirits up. It’s not much but I hope it helps during this stressful, overwhelming time for them.
If anyone else would like to do the same, please PM me for Kyle’s Paypal account info.

 

Wow man thats just awesome if I had some I'd give a little but that's a good idea

 

Thanks you very much, you brought tears to our eyes.

 

That's completely cool man. I think it's safe for me to say that Kyle appreciates any support he and his family receive, whether it be economic or spiritual (i.e. prayers, good wishes, positive vibes, etc...).

 

I was made aware that Pay pal can be sent as a gift and no service fee is applicable, not sure what the maximum allowed for a gift, please foward the e mail to me via PM I would like to make a contribution.

 

Yes, if you send it as a gift, there are no fees.

 

I can't do as much as I'd like but PM sent.

Kyle,

When you head home, if you head through the Twin Cities, maybe some of us from around the area would like to meet up for breakfast/lunch/dinner or just meet with your family.

We are hoping to make it to the zoo this afternoon. Waiting for the doctor to go to our next step. That's probably too short of s notice. It would be nice to meet up.

 

Oldsman, thank you for starting this thread. I've been away from CO for a while and I'm playing catch up on things.

Kyle, hang in there. I wish you and your Family the best. Keep me (Us) informed on Kelvin's progress.
