My wife and I could use a helping hand.

Go forth and vote for my lovely wife. A chance for us to get a wheelchair accessible vehicle would be a godsend.
It's kind of frustrating, Tina has a job - she works (in fact she makes more than me, but I'm an optician so what did you expect) which means she makes enough money that she doesn't really get much, if any, financial help from the state. Which is fine, but it makes it hard when you want something that would increase her mobility, but is waaaaay out of our price range. Anyway, we'd love it if you could help us out and vote for her every day to increase our chances of getting a wheelchair accessible vehicle. :)

Done!

Done.

How much does the chair cost?

We used to have a friend that, were he still here, would start a campaign to raise money for your wheelchair. If you want to start a fund, I would make a donation in his name.

We all miss you around here Dragon...

[EyeCare Rich]

Done. Good luck.

Thanks guys!

Her chair is covered through her health insurance (well, mostly anyway, she pays between $1,500 and $2000 every 5 years as a "co-pay" for the chair), but for the driving system that would alter a vehicle to be driveable for her would be about $80,000 (after the car itself.) So that's a lot, so probably no fund at this time, but if we ever do, you can be sure we'd share on here.

I miss Dragon too, after I got the pictures from the wedding, one of the first things that crossed my mind was "I've gotta show these to Dragon, I bet he'd get a kick out of them..." and then I remembered... :(

Wow...wow...and wow. Yeah, that would have to be one heck of a bake sale!

Believe it or not there are shops out here with a lot of people like Jessie James (I'm not a fan of his) that can rigg anything out of spare parts and a welding torch. See if you can find one or more of them. They do exist and some of them will do things like this out of the goodness of thier heart.

I voted. Now I can get lots more spam.

[optilady1]

Done. I am also open to some kind of 'Bake sale' fund raising idea. I have the Groton Sub Base and the Chief's club nearby. They aren't at my disposal, but I'm willing to use the heck out of them as need be.

[Kara]

Voted!!!

[Judy Canty]

Done!

[Fezz]

I believe that you can vote once every 24 hours!

Keep voting folks!

[optilady1]

I voted again!

[NCspecs]

Done! :) I voted!

[Johns]

I think the vote count was "6" the first time I logged on. Check it out now...and vote again. (You can always hit "unsubscribe" when the spam starts rolling in. I haven't had any yet.)

[Kara]

Apparently you can only vote once every 24 hours on the same computer, after that it won't let you. I'm going to vote on all the computers in my office. Take that!

[Now I See]

Done!

For today anyway!

[Mick]

I did it.

[opticianbart]

[Fezz]

Keep voting gang!

We can make a difference!
