bigbird 60,580 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 As you know, good people are struggling right now just to stay caught up on their monthly bills and to put food on the table for their families. We have an AUfamily member who lost his job several months back and as a result got behind on his monthly bills to the tune of $1,800. To make matters more difficult, during his unemployment, his wife had a car accident and their inability to pay the $1200 insurance deductible has prevented them from getting their car repaired. He has a new job but is struggling to make progress in paying off the bills and saving for the deductible. Please help get him back on his feet and dusted off. Let's take this opportunity to rally around our brother and show the power of this Family. If able, please donate. If not, please share this with other friends and family. Thank you https://gofund.me/db2c2bcd 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site and the membership that make up this family are good, generous people. We may not all get along or always see eye to eye, but we're always here for each other. This is just another example of why this place is truly Family. Thank you, everyone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird 60,580 Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 We're just $295 short of our goal and we've done it in less than a day! That is an incredible testament to the compassion, care, and kindness of this group. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped so far and everyone that is going to help see it through. Amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,173 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Thanks to everyone who donated and offered prayers for this family. We surpassed the goal about 1 hour ago. @bigbird is going to keep it going for awhile more in case others want to give. Bird has given me the okay to share with you all that this family is expecting after the first of the year. That is why Bird wanted to get them on their feet ASAP so they can get the car fixed before the baby arrives. Thanks for being awesome!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerpro2a 5,650 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Sorry I am late with this...it was just difficult to fully comprehend this. I truly do not feel worthy of all you have done, but Bird has helped me with that... but it took a little time today....NGL. @bigbird @JuscAUse! @LPTiger @bishoptf and anyone else who may have helped in any way, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. When discussing my situation with Bird I had no idea it would turn to what it did. It is absolutely amazing. Bird said..." Rest easy and we will get this took care of!" ....like there was never any doubt. Bird, Thanks for being a great friend and for doing this. Bird reached out a couple weeks ago just to check on me because he hadn't seen me on here much. That alone meant the world and then I told him what all has been happening and not a bit of hesitation. Just positive reinforcement and assurance of help. God Bless you. @LPTiger..you were an absolutely warrior keeping this at the top. And for everyone who helped...I wish I had the words...Thank you all. It is truly amazing how quickly things can change. Money goes quick when you are not working. It is so easy to get behind, but can seem impossible to climb back ahead. You add in a few unexpected things like....I.E. Wife wrecking her car the day she finds out she is pregnant lol...and it is easy to get overwhelmed. I have stressed so much the past month or so. I kept thinking about the fact I am about to have my first baby and here I am barely making it as is. Well you all have given us a fresh start and I am forever grateful. This has been a teaching moment for me in a plethora of ways. The first thing I was taught by this experience is to not let my pride get in the way of help when offered. Such a foolish thing sometimes...pride...but many of us are guilty of it. The bigger lesson here is to never underestimate the willingness of others to help those in need. If you need help....ask. Whether it be friends, family or your grumpy bunch of scoundrels who you love arguing AU Sports family...just ask. There are so many good people in the world and especially in this fAUmily, regardless what the nightly news may show. My faith in humanity has been 110% restored. It has given me a new outlook on things to say the least and truly humbled me. When I am able I will definitely pay it forward. I could go on and on and still wouldn't find the right words to describe how I feel about what you all have done. So I will end with this. Thank you again to everyone here for you kindness and generosity. Even those who may not have been able to help..thank you all. This truly is a family here no matter how much we bicker....and you know what.....There is no family like ours! War Damn Eagle ! God bless you all. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
