Trying to raise some funds for a family who just lost their 11 YO Son..

[atc007]

There seems to always be plenty of suffering to go around. But I was contacted by a member here about his neighbors Son who was just horrifically killed. He leaves behind a cpl of great parents and 3 Brothers. He was killed on the Eve of his Brothers 14th Birthday. Right before leaving this Earth,he was at this members home in the backyard. His last words to him were,,Spin me another Donut ! On his Big Red. He got in the car and this is what happened. See article attached. A waste of space with a record as long as his arm slammed his Expedition into the Cavalier he was in,killing him and giving the Brothers GF a very bad brain injury.She was life flighted and 3 hospitals later is fighting for her life also.I can speak from personal experience. When this kind of crap happens and the perp has NO insurance. You do not get blood from a stone. There is NO help financially.This family was scraping by and doing everything right before this. Raising great kids to be awesome members of society. Now the bills are just gonna keep on coming. Their 21 yo son rode to college with Mom in her minivan the week before. Because he had ONE day his insurance wasn't good. So he KNEW not to drive. Now,,his little Brother is dead because this guy has made a living of DUI's and no insurance..

It would be great if you could send money direct to them,but as always,I will collect it if it is easier, and get it to them. Their address,name and school that is collecting is in this link. All I ask is a buck or two. That's it. A Little Something to show these poor folks someone cares. He had just got a full set of riding gear,and was anxiously awaiting drier conditions to ride His Grandpas and Neighbors Big Reds. That isn't gonna happen now. Lets see what we can do for them. Thanx as always. My ppal is billsracing@hotmail.com

Bill, you do some ebaying from time too time don't you ? What I have in mind is sending you one of our latest project parts for you too list up and see where it go from there,,, that okay ?
Might as well have a wee bit of fun for a good cause IMO.
First part I ever reproduced went to whyzee when he wadded himself up MX'ing on a dirt bike,,, for him too list up (tecate intake boot) 4 years ago next month and for me (hopefully others too if they recall) it was exciting plus he done rather well.
Might be a week or so since the Mrs. and I are still learning the mold and will be test fitting one out (hopefully this week end)
We can supply all required info to hype up and you have the info where proceeds are going,,, sound okay 007 ?

[atc007]

Sounds great John ! Can you guys just list it? Or would you like me too? I haven't sold on Ebay in well over15?? years lol ! Thanx AGAIN for your unwaivering support .

[jeswinehart]

Bill, I am gonna let you list it up so get your seller acct. up too speed or whatever you gotta do on your end.
Mainly being if I don't see the numbers ($) I would like to see I will put bid on it + if I win it back, it will just go on the raffle/donation table at TF2013.
The family member who contacted you also sent me a very nice PM this morning. Being I have history with him and our transaction was to be completed at TF2013, I replied back to give it to the family on behalf of 3ww.
We will see if the need to own this part and the chance to help a family out will marry them selves together to produce a nice result

John/Bill,
I have no interest in this part for myself at all as I don't own a tecate. I would be willing to list it on my ebay account to help out the cause and forward the money to Bill. Would just have to work out the details of how item would be shipped to buyer. Directly from John to buyer or to me then the buyer. Let me know if you guys want to explore this option. We could work this out through PM's if ya like.

MrSound, thank you for that offer for sure. I am going to say Howdy is hired. When we get this arranged and up in auction Howdy will post up link in here (perhaps elsewhere ?) so we can all follow along (and so I can set my snipe bid too )

[thestud25]

As an added part: I will cover all the fees including shipping out of my pocket. yep, once it hits ebay the final bid amount will be the Donation amount. I will also be contacting the Paper and let them know what we are doing, plus other idea's. I want this to go viral!!!
