Help For Uvah
Community Love is needed
Saturday, October 22, 2011 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Community
Guys and gals, I have been asked to orchestrate a help for Uvah effort (not by Uvah). I know that this awesome community is ready to help, as was the case with the Wiz in Need thread.
I am willing to be the go between, in an effort to see what Uvah needs and how to get it to him. This isn't about me doing anything great. I did little for the Wiz thing, and I'll be in a similar role here. It's about helping a community member who is down and out.
That said, the link in the OP leads to the original reasons for this effort. I will answer PMs with any info Uvah (Ross) gives me and I have a paypal acct. that can be utilized if needed. I'm sure letters, cards, gifts, funds, whatever can be done is more than he has.
I don't have all the info yet, for reaching Ross. I do have a phone number, and an email address.
I expect to hear from Ross soon with more info.
Anyone wanting to be involved just post here, or PM me or Ross.
I have a barn dance to DJ tonight. I'll check back around 11PM EST. Thanks guys!
EDIT: If there are those who can't help, please don't feel guilty. Just say something nice here, if you want, or just skip this thread. We realize that everyone has problems.

I appreciate it more than you realize. It proves to me what I've said often enough about WC. We are family, you, me, everyone. When your own family doesn't do and I'll not go into that here, and strangers for the most part, no longer strangers, stand up and take notice that's saying something. What matters to me most is that you care. It isn't money or even a laptop. It's what comes from the heart, the sentiment, the desire to be there for someone. When our Wiz needed help there was no hesitation. When our RedneckDude needed help there was no hesitation. Notice I said 'our'. This is my family too and love runs real deep!

OK, guys, let's not take this thread in a bad direction. I merely want to be sure that no one feels as if I'm trying to guilt anyone.

This is not the first thread trying to support(asking for a donation) to help a member. So don't feel guilty if ya give or not give, its up to each person. I've given to some and not given to some. Just depends on my situation at the time. So don't get ones feathers in an uproar. This will happen again.

Let me state that I have been contacted via PM by another member who seems offended that I made this thread, and seems to think my "dig deep" comment was intended to "guilt" people into giving.
I am merely trying to fulfill a favor asked of me by another concerned member. I in no way intend to "guilt" anyone into giving. We all have problems. Those who can and wish to, give. Those who can't or choose not to, that's ok too.
This is a community site, this is a community forum. If I have offended anyone, I apologize. No one will be judged on whether they give or not. Free will is a beautiful thang!!
I was not going to say anything but seeing how this came up I will. I was the one who asked Jim to make this thread. I would have made the thread myself but I thought it would be better to have another member who was better known and more respected in the community. I wanted the best for Uvah and I simply did not think the thread would get the response I feel Uvah deserves if I had made the thread. If anyone is offended then you should PM me and not Jim. Jim was nice enough to help when asked and he does not deserve anyone's criticism or attitude.
This is about helping someone in need for those who are able or want to. No one is trying to make someone feel guilty if you don't. Some of us are in the position where we can help and some are less fortunate and probably need help themselves. I have been there. I lived on the streets and at one time had nothing. My circumstances have changed and now I help when I can.
Uvah I am sending you something tomorrow. It's the least I can do for a friend. Yes friend and not just an Internet acquaintance, lol.

I'll be able to send something at the beginning of the month, my apologies for the delay

No apologies needed Ryvermist. As you can, when you can, what you can, if you can.
Thanks for the support!

What I have found in life is that it is very hard to make a person feel "guilty' about anything, especially in these current hard times for everyone. So I wonder if some of us have reason to feel "guilty".
Keep up the good work RedneckDude, the community appreciates it.
