Your kindness will always be appreciated.

I am thankful for DU.

[a la izquierda]

1. Kicked in what I could. Just got my first paycheck in 3 months.

I wish you good luck!

[Divine Discontent]

2. Thank you, a la izquierda! It's highly appreciated. And I am so glad you got pay coming after such

a long time in between. For you to sacrifice some of that to me, means a ton. I hope I can get back to where I am able to help others again. Here's to a non-stop break of you getting paychecks from here!

[Doodley]

3. Where do you live? Maybe there's an auto technician on DU who can help.

I am going to write you a really good resume to help you with your plans, the DU poster called a la izquierda has made the first contribution on your Go Fund Me account. Wouldn't it be amazing if an auto technician in your area could get your car on the road again?

You have been through a roller-coaster of emotions for over a decade. I went through that for seven months. It is draining in every way.

With over twenty-thousand posts, you are without doubt part of the DU community. Come on DU - give this guy a break.

4. k and r. cannot help with funds, but can keep this kicked for visibility. wishing you a birthday

that is truly the start of a wonderful new chapter in your life. may I ask what part of colorado draws you?

[Divine Discontent]

7. niyad, I appreciate the well wishes. Crestone CO area is where I hope to be by end of year!

[niyad]

9. it is truly beautiful there. I am sure that some here on du have contacts there who

might be able to help you.

[Divine Discontent]

11. that would be wonderful to find out.

I just looked up and saw you're almost to 50,000 posts. Does a song and dance happen then?

[niyad]

12. I just realized that a little while ago myself. no song and dance--but champagne and

chocolate would be nice!!!

have you been to the colorado group?

[Divine Discontent]

13. yes, much better! Skinner should show up at the door with them any minute. ha

I'll make a post in the forum you suggest sometime, and see what I can find out.

[niyad]

15. you might find out if there is a "drinking liberally" group there in crestone. might help you

find some good contacts amoung like-minded people.

[Lifelong Protester]

14. Good Luck to you both!

Kicked in a little, Happy Birthday to you!

Hope there is a DU mechanic who can help you.

[Divine Discontent]

16. LP, just saw that, thank you very kindly. It means a ton. And Good Luck to you in everything, too.

[mountain grammy]

17. K & R

Good luck to you and it's my good luck that I can spare a few dollars.

[Divine Discontent]

20. thank you, again, mg!

[GReedDiamond]

18. KnR - I just kicked in a measly 8 bucks...

...I hope you make your goal.

Good luck and best wishes!

[Divine Discontent]

19. and it's my good luck then that you could help, GReedDimaond! If we all were able to give

$8 when those of us have needed help, this would be met in an one hour, so I truly thank you for it as much as any donation.

[GReedDiamond]

21. You're very welcome...

...I hope you make it to Colorado and get to do what you wanna do, cuz you earned it.

My girlfriend is a professional caregiver (underpaid, of course), so I know secondhand how difficult and thankless that job can be, and how it can consume your day-to-day existence, leaving no time, or energy, for yourself.

You done good on your Bro, now you deserve to do good for Yourself, cuz, like I said, you earned it.

[Divine Discontent]

22. You've seen firsthand in your GF then how exhausted caregivers can be.

I always appreciated the wonderful people that would come in to take care of my Bro when I would leave after getting him to the ER during an attack. It really is a tough job. Thank her for me. I know she's paid, but people like her helped my Bro get thru when I couldn't always be there. Appreciate all you said...

[hedda_foil]

23. Kicked in a $10. My bro also has MS, though not as badly as yours.

You are an incredible brother, DD, and deserve wonderful things from now on.

[Divine Discontent]

24. My thoughts for your brother, indeed. And I guess it says how much I've been there for my Bro that

every time one of you wonderful fellow DUers says something like this to me, I get teary eyed. Thank you. I'm so happy my Bro is still going after we thought we'd lose him often especially the first 3 or 4 years.

[Doodley]

25. Feel the love from DU. Getting this back to the top.

[Divine Discontent]

29. Thanks Doodley

I appreciate your kindness. It's not common and you are a dear person.

[roody]

26. Burden on him?

I'm sure it would give him joy to help you.

[Divine Discontent]

27. He would help me with joy if he had any means to

State Disability for him is not very much, basically covers rent. He supports me emotionally as a dear friend. But asking anything of him takes from what he gets to survive. This also adds stress to him with my car not running and worrying about me for the first time in the 12 yrs since he got sick.

If I could get enough to get my car fixed, this will speed up my getting to the city where I can drive to work, and, as one of the 8 who so kindly donated said to me deserve to be, after being my brother's keeper for 12 years. Her words brought me joy, something I've not had much of since the car went kaput. I'm not asking much of anybody, give if you wish, and thank you for wishing me well. Asking for help was the final straw, as we've tried to figure out any solution for a few weeks, and getting stressed for asking is not what I want to feel like. Just day to day needs right now are a struggle, this is why charity from DU will help end this and bring about positive changes for me.

31. PM kick

[Divine Discontent]

32. I felt the hug! Everyone who has kicked, and the nearly 10 who have now kindly donated to help

means a ton to see and feel each time either happens. Just when you aren't expecting it, someone says and does this, and makes me have good tears! I thank you for caring to do this... wherever you're at, big hug back

[Divine Discontent]
