Car guy needs help

have never begged in my life but now I am....If you know of anyone who would be willing to help.... I will take a running vehicle (that can handle a wheelchair), anyone with knowledge of how to convert it. If a miracle occurs and Jon walks again we will return it or donate to to someone else in need...I vow this to you! Can you do construction? We need help building a REALLY big door and a really low sink and other modifications. Time, materials, $ anything that can help. Good at fundraising? Help me do an event. Is there something you always coveted from me? Ask me...I can be bought if it is for Jons sake. Jon has nothing! Well, yes he does...he has the love of people around him.


You may not know Jon but if you are getting this message you know ME. You know if you had an emergency all it would take is one email to me and I would spring to action.


Please consider any ANY help


I have already emailed one wave of people and am getting responses. One person said they would donate $1000. if I would call Norm Garret and ask him to write for me again. I will make the call in the morning! (so be careful what you ask me to do...better be prepared

Barb Beach is the Publisher of Cruiser Quarterly magazine.

I dont know who Jon is.. but if he's in trouble and a friend of Barbs... and it sounds like he is... then turning to the PT community is the way to go. As a mass.. we are very generous folks for one of our own.

Just an idea has anyone tried approaching the producers of Monster Garage. It sounds like the perfect project for Monster Garage

Here you go - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6193
Current bid $162.50, no reserve, four days left.

Maybe a little more information on Jon would help your cause.

A very nice person who uses a wheelchair and has her/his PT modified for it posted information about a year back. If anyone can recall that thread, that may help as well.

There is a new show on Sundays.
I believe it is Extreme Makeover : Home Edition or something.
I would suggest contacting ABS at http://abc.go.com/primetime/xtremehome/index.html
They have a fill in form at http://abc.go.com/primetime/xtremehome/application4.pdf
Just fill it in and send it in. It is amazing at just what they can do in a week !
They must be able to leave at a moments notice (REALLY !) and be gone for 7 days...

Let us know who Jon is and I'm sure that the $$ and donations will pour in. Is he a relative?? A friend?? A cruiser fan? I am not skilled in and construction and am really broke right now, but I am always willing to try to stretch my budget to help others.
