While the contributions have not skyrocketed, I have received a touch over $1000 so far, most from an atuo enthusiast group I commune with, but let me be clear here that every donation of any size is very much appreciated. Tim's lungs have collapsed and he is in critical condition in the ICU (again) on a ventilator under sedation. Things have gotten worse and it looks like they will stay that way for awhile. We are meetng with his landlord in a few minutes to discus how we can keep the boys in their school district and maybe in the house while Tim is recovering, what adaptations can be made to the house and if the landlord is able to assist any in providing rent releif for a bit. Today is the middle son Tyler's 15th birthday. I am tkaing him to a party held by some folks at their church. Because Tyler has a ver ystrong desire to be a mechanic, i am giving him a toolset tonight that will start him out. Nick the oldest needs a reliable car so I am looking at taking his dad's Toyota pickup and running it through a safety check, tune-up and get whatever repairs are needed. Little Ryan needs love and answers to hard questions about all this. If the money that comes in becomes substantial, I would like to open three trusts for the boys that assure they get the education needed to pursue their career interests. If not, then we'll pave over the divots in the path ahead. Thanks for helping out Robert! Jan Nelson I appreciate the folks who have contributed from here and elsewhere.
