Brandon/SukaB donation info

[Milner]

There is a donation account set up for Brandon at Washington Mutual. Brandon did not ask for money, but it is clear that expenses will far exceed his insurance. On top of that he is self employed fab shop/offroad shop owner. He will not be able to work and earn an income for sometime. Any donnations will go DIRECTLY to Brandon for medical bills and expenses.

Direct donations can be accepted by any Washington Mutual in the care of Gillen/Crouch donation account.


THANKS to all of you!!

Godd sticky. Money sent. I hope to see him chasing nurses in a wheelchair soon.

 

[Milner]

Thanks guys!!

He is in a really bad spot! I just talked to his bro Chris. They met with the finacial people today. His insurance sucks in is about exhausted. He does not qualify for medicaid, and the VA will not help. Right now it is to the point of total liquidation of everything to pay the med bills. No one deserves to loose everything the worked so hard to get!!
Every $1 will help!!!!

Please do what you can. If you can't help with $$ there will be other opportunities coming for you to help!

Given his experience with Monster Garage and Junkyard Wars does anyone have any idea how to get the discovery channel involved?
Seems like they could do a recovery story for TLC or something and use some of the advertising revenue for a tax deductable donation...

One hell of a good suggestion. I know that there are forums sites for them. Maybe post on Jesse James forum also?

Based on an email address I found in a discovery channel article I think I just emailed Jesse James the link to this thread with a breif description of what is going on. Hopefully it works. I'll post up if I get an error.

I know Jesse James called him so maybe your email found it's way through.

Angie went by at lunch. Mac (formerly of Randys) was there visiting. They were making B do some therapy, teaching him to eat and what not. He was in a lot better mood today. He was 3 hrs late on meds and grumpy when we went up last night
Left arm is doing better, seems to have about the same range of movement as his right....
I'll be happy when I can flip me off again

Pretty sure the "big guy" will understand your net usage in this case As for your Jeep, don't worry about it. We'll figure something out....

I am truely amazed!! People are Truely amazing! From the smallist to the largest donnation I want to THANK all of you!! You have given hope to many people, especially Brandon!!!!

I believe there is a special person lurking out there in RME land. You know who your are. I just wish I knew who you were. You have brought a room full of people to tears and your genorisity amazes me. From myself, Brandon, his Family, and all of us I just want to THANK YOU. You are a wonderfully person I hope some day Brandon can shake your hand and Thank You in person!!
THANKS YOU

Update: Brandon is getting his a$$ kicked in therapy....He is pretty much doing some kind of therapy all day long. As you can imagine, he doesn't shut up the whole time either....I bet he is teaching those inocent young therapy aids all sorts of new words!!

I stopped by to see him today, he is doing pretty good. Got a kiss from a nurse, female, while I there, can you imagin that? His mom and dad are hanging in there, but it has been and will be tough on them. His sister in law came in this after noon. I took his dad over to the VA to get some paper work to see if he can get some help from the VA. Something most of you most likely didn't know is that he was a Marine for 4 years active and 2 in the reserves. Not a wrench turner, but Marine Recon, that's a tough bunch of SOB's and he still is! Once a Marine, always a Marine! Pony up folks, not just someone who fixed your rig, put on a good show at a Comp, entertain you on TV, shared a beer they you, but a man who stood guard over you so you could sleep in Free America at night, write what you want on here and now he does need your help!
