A few HT members brought Len's thread to my attention and needless to say after reading it I wanted to do whatever I could to help him.

I've never met Len and never have really ordered any OEM parts from him but I have spoken to him from time to time on HT and have seen how he does his best to help out all of the HT members, Now it's time we help Len out in his time of need.

(If you haven't read it Len Lost his Family Dog and House as well as his car, his parents car and many posessions. He was lucky to have escaped the house.)

I'd like to get something going for Len, maybe have people interested in helping paypal me whatever they would like to donate and send Len and his Family either cash or items that can help them out. To those interested, would paypal be ok with everyone or do you guys have another idea in mind and any idea what Items we could send if not just cash?


<FONT SIZE="3">To Donate:</FONT>

To donate please IM me for info on how to contact Len, Please do not send Paypal or any form of money to me without prior contact, Thank You.

So Far we have raised over $2800 for Len and his family. 1st Check is going out to them this week, with a second soon after (after some checks clear and payments arrive)

<FONT COLOR="red">UPDATE: 5/11/04</FONT>
So far about $3300-3400 (rough estimate) raised for Len, Great Job everyone.
Sending out the 2nd Check this week. Any further donations please read above.

 

Couldn't have written it any better myself. Thanks Mike for a great idea.

I'd be willing to contribute. For me, $ is better, as I don't have much useful.

 

paypal would work for me..

Mike, does your Boxer have any puppies?? I know smokey can't be replaced, but it's a place to start.

I assume the essential items would be replaced under insurance.

finally got mine sent out.. hope it helps.

If there is a Paypal account ready, post it up.

Len has hooked it up, and I know he is a major contributor to this community. It would be the least any of us can do.

EDIT: Sent some money, not a boatload, but everything helps in this sort of situation.

sounds like a good idea to me. I hate paypal and their damn "service charges" but every little bit will help out Im sure.

I'll have it all setup by tommorow afternoon.

 

Paypal would be fine with me, and Id love to help him out.

 

My paypal is primed and ready to send cash right now.

Just gimme the send to address and I'll hit the pay now button

 

I'm up for paypal. I can add a paypal address to the Expo account if you don't have an account set asdie mike.

 

cash would prolly be the best way for those of us who aren't local to him to help out.

 

I think Len has a paypal account. Just send it to him... it will be quicker for him to get the funds than trying to route it to several different places.

 

Count me in.

Although money is not the most sincere way to help, but it is the least we can do.

 

I agree with Cos, probably easiest that way, for him and for us that arent local. He would probably feel selfish by putting up his paypal address though.

especially with us all (mostly) being far away.

 

address to send a money order. i dont have paypal

 

Unfortunately I do not have anything to donate that would be of any help. Count me in if there ends up being a Paypal account for donations.

 

Mike, if y'all decide to send him something other than money, you can send it to my warehouse and I will bring it to Len.

 

I'm in too! Paypal would work the best for me. Maybe someone could move this thread into GDD cuz len did hook up all of HT, not just the Type R forum

Good idea Sean, I'm going to contact Len and see if he wouldn't mind that. This way they get the money asap, instead of transferring it from account to account. If he doesn't want too I have my account ready to go.

I'd like to send something a little more personal than cash however in this case I'd like the donations to help where they are really needed and think that cash will be best so that Len and his family may use it where they need it.

Yup, that way we'll get hit w/ less fee's.

2 transfers = 6%

while direct to his account would be only 3%

 

Would you happen to have an address for Len, Mike? Or should we send it to your shop?

 

I dont have much to give but once a paypal address is situated let me know. Im in disbelief...

Well I woudn't send the funds from my Paypal to his I would send him a check.

 

I'm ready when you are captain.

 

My paypal account is presently drained, however I do have some cash set aside for an emergency which I'll be glad to part with for Len's sake.
