Yesterday,
dmk posted a request for donations for a (in my
admittedly biased opinion) worthy cause:
helping a mutual friend.
She suggested I repost this here, since there are some folks who read my
journal and not hers:
nosebeepbear needs a scooter [Friends-locked entry] to help her get around.
madbodger has generously offered to buy one for her. We're pitching in a little for the scooter and possibly for a scooter-carrier that could be mounted to the rear of her car. She said that the "cost is between $1,200 and $6,000. The ones that look like they'll be the most useful for me are in the $3,500 range." A quick search for the scooter carrier found them to be under $1000.
If you'd like to help, too, please send a donation to
madbodger. Contact him via jrehwin
fgm com to make arrangements, or use that same e-mail address via PayPal ("Category of Purchase" = "Goods, other"; "Note" = "Scooter for Nosebeepbear"). Note to friends who don't know them: I personally vouch for both of them as Good People, and would trust them to the ends of the Earth. If you have a few bucks to spare, please help.
Thanks folks.
Having known both
nosebeepbear and
madbodger
longer than a few people on my friendslist have been alive, I too can
vouch for their being Good People.

Thank you. From this statement, I'm also thinking we're Old People :).
And thanks for passing this on. It's wonderful to feel loved. It will be doubly wonderful to feel loved and be able to move around by myself :).

I too will vouch for the worthiness of this cause and will dig into my pennyjar once I have finished paying off my debts to
Hope this helps people dig a little further into their pockets! :)

I'm sure you know where I'm going with this....
If Dr. James hasn't gotten rid of Cindy's scooter, even though it's in California, since it's used, perhaps we have a match?
