First off this is Really , Really Hard for me to do, as i am a man who is very full of pride. I feel as if i am begging and that is not a pleasant feeling at all. Here is the deal, I have had to sell all my toys that i owned outright , to help pay for medical bills for my children and my wife. Now My Daughter , Lily, is in need of a Corrective Helmet to fix her irregular shaped head and offset ears. I still have the Buell because I have a loan on it, and didn't own it outright. Even selling my Buell, I would not have near what is needed after the loan on it was paid off, but if it gets to the point that selling it will give me just enough to cover whats left on her bill,and the doctors will proceed, it will be sold. If you could please look at the page using the link below, and maybe pass the link on for others to look at it would be greatly appreciated. http://www.gofundme.com/Helmet-for-Lily I know there will be people with negative comments, and i hope that whoever you are you will at least be respectful with the comments. | ||

I'm going to go blow up a couple of forums for you buddy. Don't be ashamed to ask for a little compassion. There are leeches every day that get to spend my tax money because they are lazy. Good luck and I'll send something when my online driver improvement course concludes for the night..... damn buell  | ||

A quick search gives you places to look into: http://www.curedfoundation.org/docs/grant_sources_ 2011.pdf I would also suggest: Catholic Charities (Message edited by Whatever on August 06, 2012) | ||

WOW, i am so grateful and astonished, i really appreciate it guys, and i dont know how to thank you all, i am printing your suggestions and my wife and i will be seeing if there is any of these that can help out. I honestly had no idea that i would get such a positive response, i honestly expected to be blown up with negatives. I am not the type person that ask for things like this, and it took me 20 min after typing the first post , before i finally just looked away and hit enter. Thank you guys so so much, i know as much as i say thank you , you guys will never get the full gest of how grateful me, my wife and Lily are, to you all. | ||

Giving for a noble cause or helping someone out is very rewarding! I'm glad I could help. I also put out a link on my Facebook. Maybe one day when my chips are down, someone will be there for me. (Message edited by malott442 on August 06, 2012) | ||

I made a call yesterday to Lily's Doctor asking if there was anything we could as far as payment plans to him or anything else, and he told me that they stopped taking payment plans and such because they had been burned so many times in the past, but that he would review all the expenses not covered by insurance, and give me a call back. I just got the return phone call from Lily's Doctor, and he is cutting our out of pocket expense in half!!!! Yes in HALF !!! We are so excited. With the help of Everyone here and the people they have forwarded the information to, and the news from the doctor, we are now almost half way to the final cost. Thank you all so much, Lily's mother and I are so happy and astonished by all the positive that has come our way in the past 2 days. My wife asked if there is anything we can do for any of you ? Please don't hesitate to ask , we will do everything in our power to return the Huge favor you all have given us | ||
