That's awesome Andy! Thank you for sharing the bounty.
I'm also delighted to report that I just had an anonymous donation from a FaceBook shop page fan who wanted to purchase my last 11 bars of Hand Job ....... for TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D I'm still in shock and amazed at the generosity of strangers.

Yes, it's true, while this may sound like something you would hear on the news,,,well...it is like that. Nothing short of it. I can't hardly believe this is really real. But everyone, it is, this whole thing Leanna started has snowballed into one life changing deal for my mother and I. For those who have moved entire homes out of state you know the cost is staggering. Well as of this morning,,or late last night, I can say that with everything that has come in from Leanna starting this on FB and here on FABO, my shoulder blades are no longer dragging on the street. I called my mother last night and told her everything that I knew. And everyone, I can tell you that while we were sniffing and wiping our eyes on the phone, we knew for the first time this can really happen. The story with Mom is a long one and a hard one. God bless her and her inspiring strength she has shown me my whole life. I'm so proud to be able to say I'm her son.
And now with all of this, all of you have enabled my mother to get well, and get up here to Oregon so that she can live the rest of her life with me and I can care for her. Not to mention be able to move her up here.
What I have not said before here or anywhere was my bottom line plan and that WAS that push come to shove, I had planned on flying down there, loading up what we could in her car with her pup, and walking away from it all,,,everything she owned and built up in her life. In my mind, she is worth far more than the things she has so I was willing at worst case situation to drive away from everything like it just burnt down if I was not able to find the money to get her well and up here.
I can tell you all that this option is no longer on the table. Now we know not only what must be done, but we know we can now do it. Sure, it's still gonna be a ton of hard work, ( pray my back holds out for this one ) but in the end, there will come a day when thanks to all of you, I will be sitting there in my chair, coffee in hand, looking at the greatest lady I have ever known relaxing for the first time in her life, getting to know her grandson, finally,,,......finally...putting herself in a lower gear and able to focus on getting better and best of all, enjoy life a bit. She has been selfless in all the years I have known her. First raising myself and a brother whom is somewhere out there, as a single mother, Then caring for her father until he passed, next it was her mother she did the same for, some years later it was her sister Geri, then her other sister Marrylin whom died of cancer but not alone. Then, it was my father, now....just when the chips were down during all of this that this thread is all about, we just got word her last family member up in Yakama is on the way out. This leaves her as the only one in her line alive. And she has every plan on finding a way up there to care for him until he passes. Lucky, it's not that far from here so even if she is not able to fully care for him as she does for patents she has in AZ, she will be there for him. I'll see to that as long as she is healed up enough to go.
Where am I going with this? well I'll tell ya, this thing leanna started and you all jumped on board with both feet, not only saved our lives, changed our world, but also, will enable my mother by being up here to care for the last of her family until the end.
So know everyone, that be it $5.00 or 2K. ( did I really just type 2K?) it's all coming together to shut the door on a chapter of stress, bad times, hard times, stress and sadness of many reasons, and open a new chapter that God willing will be some good years of gearing down so finally my loving mother can relax and enjoy what time she has left. The thought of loosing her while down there in AZ is more than I can take, so much would be lost, but now, thanks to all of you and the big plan, lives will TRULY be changed for the better. So I can't thank all of you enough for this. Please put yourself in my shoes for a moment and understand what it means to us what you all have done here in these passing days. Together, all of you have made a difference that will have a life long ripple effect. Take pride in knowing you all are a part of it. And thank God for all of your parents who clearly raised you all to know when to step in and help when you could. This time,,,,,,,,it worked! Love to all

Leanna dont worry about the cert right now. I,m just gonna paypal.
Thanks Pete! Every little bit helps. :-D
WOW!! That is an amazing story Dana. Leanna this is truly a fantastic life changing deed that you have done! Good Karma is gonna bite you in yer Daisy Dukes darling.
Kudos to all!
Kudos to all!
I wanted to post up an update here. I Just got off the phone with my Mother. She is still in assisted care for now, but a friend brought her the mail and in the mail was several gifts of money to help out. Some with a note, others no return address or note. She is so overwhelmed by all of this from all of you people both here and on FB she is totally beside herself. I can't thank you all enough for all the help. Today they removed some of the stitches from her hand. She stopped counting at 60! Her wounds on her back, neck and shoulder are healing well so far with no signs of infection which is great and her breathing is getting stronger each day.
Now, on a personal note all of you, I would like to add on top of all this a thank you as something else in my life has happened. My Daughter in Ohio last night was involved in a very serious car accident with a Semi. Currently she is on life support and an induced Coma for now. We will know more when they let her come out of this. So as you can imagine, stress is very high for this kid right now with both ends of the candle burning. But the reason I brought this up here is that it was the call from my mother today telling me about the mail she got today that was the bright moment of my day. So yet again, your actions have once again made someone smile. Did I not say ripple effect?
Thank you all so very much. Man,,,,ya gotta love MoPar people, and for what its worth, my Mother is the one who got me into Mopars as a kid.

Hi Leanna, if you would be so kind to put this up at the BOG and FABO for me sweetie.
Hi all of you guys and gals out there.
I know Leanna has been posting some stuff for me. I would like to fill in any blanks as well as attempt to express my thanks to all of you, although I know there is no way in the world that anything I could ever say or do could ever come remotely close to how I feel inside. As I have learned there are truly no words that can really fully express emotion. And maybe that's why we have them, to fill in the blanks of language.
I never in my life ever even thought of life as it is right now, sure, there had been times where I had wondered what it might be like to lose a child, but those thoughts were short lived as there is really no way one could know how it would feel, even sitting on the sidelines when you hear of someone on the news losing a child, it tears at your heart. Yet, here I am, I am that guy. I don't think I have ever felt a weight such as this. Yet, with all of this weight of what's happened with my mother, then uncle, then my daughter and later even my dog in such a short time, I would be remiss if I didn't also point out the loss of weight and the feeling of love, support, help that all of you have provided myself and everyone involved in this. What all of you have done is tremendous and humbles me to a new level.
As you all know this started out with my mother and Leanna getting a wild hair up her butt to help out, and then went totally crazy, then right on the heals of that came the accident with my Daughter, Man,,talk about kicking an *** when he is down and the BOG, and FABO responded back with a counter kick of epic levels. Nowhere in my life have I heard about such a reaction such as all of you have done. There have been what one would think of as a normal and great donation of $10, $20 and the like, yet there were also those of you, who somehow went crazy and together not only made a difference, but made it all happen.
You all should know that due to your actions, myself and my daughters mother were able to truly do what we wanted to do, and that was be with her moment by moment. So much was able to be done.
Time was measured breath by breath, heartbeat by heartbeat. I sat there for hours counting each beat and breath, looking at all the machines learning what each was for, what they should read and when to freak out and when to take a breath of my own, each breath was a joy, yet tempered by the worry that the one you just saw might be her last. This went on for hours and hours, days and days, the fear of sleeping was overwhelming. Just going to the bathroom puts you in a near panic at the thought of leaving your child at that moment when they may pass....and God forbid pass alone.
The list goes on as this is just the tip of it all, but what I would like to focus on in this update is the positives that have happened much in part due to your actions, so I'll hit a few here.
First off, just being able to get there for both my mother and daughter were enough to destroy my family at the attempt to do so, there was a time when Krisi got into her wreck that I clearly did not know if I could go. It sounds so odd to think of it that way, but I had plans on dealing with my mother in Arizona and that had come together pretty well, and was laid on with tickets purchased to go, then Kris happened. I was stuck in the middle needing to make a choice...I must say again, "Choice" I had come to the reason that I had to make a choice between my daughter and mother. Sadly, I ended up knowing that I had to stick with my mother, and going to Ohio was out of the question. I could do nothing for my baby, but might be able to save my mother. A choice such as this is a hard one to make, but a fact of life none the less. Until al l of this happened. The "Choice" was taken away and was given from all of you, a decision. I was able to do both, both were the right answer, and thanks to all of you, both will happen.
I can't express what it felt like to land in Ohio knowing that in a short time I would be with my baby. This child of mine is the one of mine that our hearts have always beat as one. Yes, I know we are not to say such things, but it's true.
I have not left yet to Arizona but will be doing so in several days, but you all should know that in Ohio with my girl, not only did I get to be there, but also had the ability to get things done, ensure her care, be there for her, help care for my granddaughter, support her Mom, ease pain, tension and deal with issues such as legal problems in dealing with guardianship of my Daughter and custody of our granddaughter. These are huge issues, Bigger than I thought. Like the moment where we wanted to check into getting medical help to our granddaughter should we need it as she was getting a nasty cold. They told us that yes, we can care for her as long as the mother signs these forms........uh......mom in in a coma,,,,...now what..... Enter the legal system and thanks to actions of friends and all of you, this is no longer an issue. The p apers are drawn up, and we hope very soon will be granted emergency status to get guardianship of my daughter so that we can then get custody of Bailee. But the point is here, that this is taken care of now, both the lawyer and filing fees to get this moving! This is something we could not have done without help. So picture this situation with that still looming over our heads. But it's not, its being taken care of. Bailee Rae will not have her mother this Christmas as she has known, but will still have a Christmas, and maybe be able to spend it with her mother, my baby, Kris, even if she is only there in body, I'm in hopes that somewhere in her mind she will know what's going on.
Progress has been slow, but there are signs of life in there with Kris. As I watched each sign you all should know that me being able to be there for all of them is due to your actions. Things that in a normal world one would not even think about. Like seeing that first breath she took on her own, that first time she went 5 min on her own, then the first hour and now, as of the time I write this she is breathing on her own all day and only getting oxygen assist at 4% during the night for several hours to let her rest better. Or how about the first real blink of an eye, or the first time her hand, head foot, toe leg moved. Yes, there were moments that scared the hell out of me, times where alarms would go crazy and get pushed out of the room wondering if that was it, but the key here is that I was there with her thanks to all of you. Kn owing that due to your actions, that if she passed, she not only was not alone, but that her Daddy was there with her, holding her hand, playing with her hair or kissing her on the forehead, hand, and even her cute little foot.
I don't know what the future will hold from this moment on, but one thing I do know is that all of you need to know that your actions have saved the lives of 3 families directly involved here and that her Daddy was able to be there and get done what needed to get done. I was there to watch over her, feel her, smell her, touch my baby, talk to her, play our song for her. All of these things would not have happened had you not all sprang into action as you did. Even if the lord takes her now, what you all need to fully understand that most importantly what you have given this daddy, is time, time to be with his baby girl at a time where it was needed most and the decision of having to save only one of them was turned from that, into being able to save both.
You have given me the ability to touch her, be with her, smell her, watch her, comfort her, and so many more, but most of all, you all gave this father his girl back, and, gave me the ability to say all the things I wanted to say, remind her I love her more than life it's self, be there for her. And worse case situation, you all gave me time to be with her one last time.
While she is far from out of the woods, she is getting better. We have no idea how this will end or she will end up, it's a day by day life now. I remain hopeful that she will recover enough to know life again to some degree. I look forward to hearing that she smiled for the first time, or that some way of communication has been discovered, but your actions have given me faith that even in the worst of times, miracles do happen. All of you made this season a miracle, and that these holiday season's for the rest of my life will not be one of sadness and sorrow, but on of joy as they should be.
I would also like to plead with all of you to share this whole situation with your children, family and friends. Please help them to understand that just making that seat belt click, or fully stopping at a sign, but most of all, taking that extra moment to let that car go by, the one that you think,,,,,I could make it,,,,let it go by. waiting for that moment will not change your life, but not waiting can change the world as you know it.
In this case, my girl was a passenger in the car, her boyfriend was driving the car. He had his seat belt on, but did not wish to be a pain and tell her to put hers on. Yes, she should have known better, but its a team effort here, they say friends don't let friends drive drunk, well, I might add that they also don't let a car move before everyone is buckled up. I can't say in this case that she would be fine had she had hers on, but, clearly, there is a good chance that she would be better off. And most of all, we would not even be dealing with this whole situation had he just done one simple little thing.......wait for that semi to pass...there is no rush big enough to test that fate, and clearly it's not worth it. Please,,,,for the love of God,,,Please just wait, just as God will provide, he will also provide a safe gap in traffic for you to be on your way during this holiday season and the rest of your lives.
In closing, please understand that heartfelt thank yous and love we have for all of you out there. and without busting anyone out, if your initials are D.M. a special thank you to you my friend, what you did enabled us to nail down a lawyer solid. So there,,no names thrown out.
Thank you all and God bless all of you, your families, hold your babies tight and take this moment to tell all of them you love them. Don't put it off for one min. Please, make that call, don't think about it,,,,just do it,,,Now....
Dana Price
From a personal standpoint, I've taken the last couple paragraphs to heart ever since 2005. There's something about being that close that changes your perspective on things .............
Anyway, thanks for reading this, and for being YOU. We did a good thing gang. < group hug >

You're welcome Doc, and thanks for posting. Quite a few of my friend's emails lately have left me in the same condition -- he's got quite a way with words.
For those arriving late to the game, his paypal address is [email protected]. With Dana's trip to Arizona pending to finally help move his mother to Oregon to continue her recovery, every dollar makes a BIG difference! I know times are hard for all of us ... but Christmas miracles still do happen. :-D

Pay It Forward Continues ....
In mid-November, lots of you kind souls were involved in this fund raiser to help my friend Dana Price's mom out following a serious dog attack.
This is just an update to let everybody know that Dana is flying out today to Arizona to pack up her stuff, get her house listed, and finally bring her home with him to Oregon -- something that has been in the plans for a long time and is a very joyous occasion for the family. It also wouldn't be happening right now if it wasn't for all the help they've received.
I kicked in $50 to help out with her relocation effort. If anyone else is inclined to help beyond prayers for a continued speedy recovery and a smooth trip, it would be most appreciated and go to a terrific cause!! Her paypal address is [email protected] and this is a photo of the lovely lady you're helping (standing with someone SHE helped in the past).

Let's work together to make 2014 a year that Margaret and Dana can remember for GOOD THINGS. Thank you all!!!
Dana added this personally:
"Thank you all so much for the help. While its been a ride I wish on no one, I can't get there soon enough. She has been home for only 3 days now and already fell on the steps into the garage. And being alone there,,,well...I'm just glad the moment is here to get there and end this chapter.
"Also, I would like you all to know that I got word that Kris my daughter has been improving slightly and there are moments where she can give a hand squeeze for no and a thumbs up for yes and is now totally breathing on her own. I hope to get back to Ohio as soon as I can but won't be until after May due to no remaining vacation time left."
Thanks for keeping this family in your hearts and prayers!!! :-D
