Linked to this thread from another site, I felt inspired to do my part. $20 more towards this remarkable gesture.
Humbled at work today !!
- Thread starter JRS BLOWN SNAKE
- Start date
It might be a good idea for those who were linked from another site to post where they are coming from. It would be kind of neat to see who all is coming in here. :beer:

I definitely want to hear how this turns out:banana: And I am glad to see there is decency still left amongst people.

Did my part. Happy Holidays 
Nicew work peeps, in this fuct up world and economy hopefully we can make someones day better...
Wow. And I thought not having a Termi for the last year and not having a prospect of getting another sucked! I hope that guy and his family have a happy X-Mas.
PP sent. You guys from MACA rule.
Saw this on chicagolandmustang.com, I'm glad to see there are so many caring people on the site.
One of the best SVTP threads i've ever seen.

This is a display of caring that I don't have words for. I am so re-inspired in regards to our economy and humanity. I ,too, had many bad feelings and was angry when I lost my high paying job of 10 years. One of the reasons I started this thread was because I basically wanted to admit that I had no right to complain about anything, when there are plenty of "Terry's" in this world. I will do my part to help whenever and wherever I can. I have been grounded, so to speak, by a man that has a life story that probably would have put me under the soil. He has been my teacher and inspiration this week !! I'll never forget it.
I also agree in sponsoring a family each year. What else could be better than making dreams come true for children !!!!
Amazing people can do Amazing things, as shown by this network of caring people from all over the US. THANK YOU !!!!!!!
As of 6am this morning, the fund is at $845.00. One member sent money from his twin turbo fund and said the turbos can wait. All of your paypal comments are appreciated very much. It will be a wonderful day for them. Still many donations from folks that have not posted here.
My family and I are going out today to meet with ScottinSSMD, Scott, in which he has donated a digital camera and some clothing items. Afterwards we will be picking up the gift cards. My wife recommended a card to one of the teenage clothing stores that girls like as one of the cards, as well as a Wal-Mart/ Target card.... My 13 yr old daughter is anxious to shop for Terry's girl. We do not know her size, but things can be exchanged. My wife explained that the girl would surely be happy to open a few items she can use/play with Christmas day, while the stores are closed.
If any donations come in after we have shopped today for the family, I will hand him the cash. Time is getting close. We work Monday and Tuesday next week, only. I will give him the cards and gifts on Monday and he will have a couple hours on Tuesday and all day Wednesday to shop, and of course after the holidays.
I'm so thankful to folks from all over that have graciously donated to this effort that has taken on a life of its own. There probably should be a cut off time, if that makes any sense, without trying to come accross as sinical. I work some silly hours the next couple days and won't be able to get to any stores during that span. We will be leaving the house around 10 am, Eastern, to go on this exciting trip. Any funds which come in after that today, I will hand Terry the cash at the same time as the other gifts, tomorrow. So, I would say, Midnight tonight. Sound reasonable ??
Merry Christmas

Wow, It is great to hear that there are so many folks that are willing to open their hearts and wallets to help out. I am a regular on ShadyNinja's Racing Forum, where I saw the post, and have followed this thread like alot of others by donating my $20 to the pay pal account. Happy Holidays to all.

Hey JR, hope I am not too late to get in on this. I just sent you a PAYPAL and wanted to help out. Touching story and as I sit here in my Lake house I can't not help as I have so much to be thankful for.
On our way to WI now to see my daughter, hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

make it 1000.00
paypal on the way.
This is a touching story. I am so glad that people today can still be moved by a simple story of a man working against all odds to make things right for his child. That little girl will be brought up to understand the importance of caring, dedication and that even though you may not know it....there are angels watching.
The OP in this case.
Well done.
