Charlie Olson Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 Hi, I am a member of two old Chevy pickup truck Yahoo Groups. A young man in Missouri is having to sell his prized red 48 Chevy pickup, because he needs the money for his family, before he re-deploys to Afghanistan with his National Guard unit. I have challenged the members of the Yahoo truck groups to each send this young man $20, or more, in the hope that he might receive enough funds so he won't have to sell his family heirloom pickup truck. Would each of you look into your heart and see if you can support this grass roots cause by sending them $20 or more if you feel inclined to really support one of our troops and his family. If you want to send Tony and Jodi Perez a truck saving donation, their mailing address is 219 North Elm, Conway, MO, 65632. Thank you for your consideration of helping a young serviceman keep his truck. FYI: I just started this fund raiser campaign last night and Jodi has already received many emails of support and pledges. She is simply overwhelmed with the out pouring of support and sent a deeply felt thank you to the group. Thank you all most sincerely, Charlie Olson, Army Vet Quote
Young Ed Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 Maybe if it was a Dodge truck...... Just kidding Charlie its very nice of you to start up a compaign like this. Good luck to you and to the family I hope they make it. Quote
Charlie Olson Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Posted July 1, 2009 Hi Ed, maybe we could put a Dodge emblem on the hood? Jodi has received several emails of support and "the check is in the mail" messages from concerned Folks. Quote
