I would love to have some CAD work done but are we bidding for the whole 100 hour's or just what we want.

Scott,

I would like to split this up as needed. I need to talk to Matt about how many hours he needs to do his project.

For example if Matt needs 50 hours then his bid would be for 50 hours and I would have another fifty up for bid.

But I will add some more hours right now... Scott call or email me and we can discuss the project and how many hours it will take.

[MrAngry]

Hey Guys,

I'd like to jump in and offer to donate a package that includes 2 of every piece of merchandise I have on my site "http://www.mrangryinc.com/catalog/". It's really not automotive, but if you're pissed at someone it may just fit the bill.

Hope this helps!

Hey guys,Sorry for the delay on posting these families.I have been dealing with computer issues. The first Ohio family gracefully bowed out as they felt these other 2 families needed more help than they did.
I am very close to the Reno Family who started Annas Army after they lost there daughter, Anna,to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. I know there are 2 families here one from Texas and one from California. I am by no means trying to push another family into this auction,Andi Reno thought she'd send me 2 families info and let me (us) decide which family we wanted to help. Bellow are the messages from Andi,myself and one of the families. Thank you everyone for all the help and generosity. Im am sure they will appreciate any and all help. As the Reno family tries to keep raising awareness for CF through annas army please lets get the word out on one of the most underfunded research groups out there. Annas-Army.com is there website which you can find out about the cause,Anna her self,as well as ways to help in the future. I know there is a ton of people and organizations this time of year trying to get funds for helping children. The Reno family and Annas Army are a part of my life and im just trying to help get the word out on there cause.

Andi Reno
Ok I am trying to figure out how to get their family pics to b added to this message but I think I am unable to do it:( I may just have to send them another way but I wanted to get you the letters about the familys, and a bit of why they need the help...
First family is the Gardner's, 5 kids one def has CF there are 2 others that r being treated as if they do because they fall in the gray shaded area of CF with the sweat tests they do.. Here is their story..

this is for the Gardner family,
5230 Rita Ave., Carmichael, CA 95608 is our address

Alexiia is almost 14 years old, Aryia my cfer is 11.5 years old., Ava (they think she may have cf too) is 7.5 years old, Allura (they also think she may have CF) is 5 in 2 weeks and the baby Aerison is a tank at 18 months old. :-)
Alexiia loves to shop and is really into brand name clothes such as ambercrombie, but of course doesn't get them except for when ppl give us hand me downs. She is a teen size 5. Aryia loves anything horses and is banking on getting her own horse for christmas from santa! lol. I have been trying to let her down gently.
Ava is not choosy and likes just about anything. Allura is into make believe and was in love with our play kitchen set but we had to sell it before. so anything make believe or princess! lol. Aerison is in desperate need of some toddler toys that aren't for girls. Poor kid, had to be born into an all girl family.

Hi Andi!
I had written to you a bit our back story but it didn't send and then I had to run off to work. Funny that you emailed me today of all days! Two years ago today, we boarded a plane and moved back to the mainland from Hawaii. We had nothing, literally spending all our money on the crate to ship our belongings back home. We didn't have enough money to ship our car back so my brother lovingly gave us his old minivan that was sitting unused in his side yard. Things were bleak.
It was not always like that. We used to own a very nice home and lived a very nice life. We never wanted for anything. We however, were desperate to 'stop' CF. We thought if we did everything right, we would stop it. I know you know how ridiculous that is, but we were naive. Aryia was diagnosed at 4 years old and by the time she was almost 7 we thought we had a handle on things. We packed our family up and moved to Hawaii. The salty, hot, humid air made Aryia feel fabulous and we felt like that was the key. Unfortunately, the health care there sucked and our home back on the mainland didn't sell, couple that with the cost of living there and the low wages we were in an awful situation. We soon had no other choice but to declare bankruptcy.
2.5 years later not only were we financially devastated, but my husbands job wasn't working out and I came up unexpectently pregnant with baby number 5. We felt like it would be unwise to have our baby in Hawaii due to the possibility of it having CF, knowing it might take a while for my husband to find a job we literally started to sell everything to get enough money to move back. My husband was unemployed for almost a full year. During that time, we applied and were granted full welfare benefits (so humbling). Our children had no winter clothes, nothing we took the emergency funds the state gave us and marched straight over to the 2nd hand store and bought some coats, jeans and long sleeve shirts. We also bought them second hand bikes. Aryia's health plummeted during that time, and we bounced between family members, even staying for a short period of time in an empty condo that our friends were trying to sell, sleeping on mattresses on the floor. Aryia had 3 hospital stays in a very short period of time. In fact one of them was when I was due with our baby, Aryia stayed for 15 days and got out the day before I delivered him (husband still unemployed).
However, now both my husband and I are employed. We are slowly getting ourselves out of debt and are no longer receiving cash aid or food stamps. What a journey! Our credit is still trashed, and one day we dream of owning a home again and having a savings account. Our children however are happy and loved and we have beds to sleep in and a roof over our heads and food in the refrigerator.
I wanted to tell you all this because 2 summers ago, I was feeling so low. It was when we were both still unemployed and I had just had the baby and Aryia was so sick and had just gotten out of the hospital and they had just done a bronch lavage on her and they told us she looked really bad. I was devastated. I happened upon your video of Anna very early in the morning. I wept and wept and wept. My husband woke up and asked me why I was crying and I had him watch the video. And he wept. We knew then that no matter our circumstances to just know how blessed we are to have our children to hold time is so short and you never know what tomorrow brings.
Your Anna had such a gigantic impact on the world and the work you are doing with Anna's Army is such a HUGE blessing to the Cystic Fibrosis community. If there is ever anything we can do from here please let me know.
God Bless you!
-Beth
I will be sending you the other family in just a few moments, plus trying to get you the pics!!
Thnx,

Ok here is the second family,I haven't gotten a letter yet from them but they were referred to us by some friends of theirs.
Yes!! One of our admins on the board has been going through some VERY hard financial times... they've had their electricity shut off a few times, had water shut off once... they are really struggling...

Ben and Cassie Medina
806-789-3404
3806 23rd Street
Lubbock, TX 79410

Aiden is 5 yrs old and he likes boy stuff... Remote Control Cars, Legos, Superheroes, that kind of stuff...
Isabelle is 4 years old and likes baby dolls, dress up clothes, anything to do with ballet, barbies, her favorite color is pink.
Brooklyn is 2 years old and likes baby dolls, and anything pretty and girly.
They are a wonderful family... she has become a dear friend to me... if I had the ability I'd send them presents for the kids myself! I know that they really won't have much of anything this year... so this would be an amazing blessing to them!!!
I will need your email address to b able to send the pics for these 2 families.. Ive been trying to send with these letters but they will not attach:(
I hope this is all you r needing, I will forward a family letter to you from the Medina's when I get it, and i will also send you the Gardner's address too.
Thnx for helping us help these CF families.. Times r hard enough dealing with the disease, but you put a holiday on top of that, and well it's just not fun!!!
Andi


This is the info for the 2 families who are struggling not only for the holidays but with lifes trials and tribulations.

Thanks for taking a moment to read there stories.

Albert, Greg, and others.
with the bids already in the hat, and the other monies people have simply donated, we should be approaching $5000 by the deadline here. That is a lot of bread for one family so I suggest you guys divide it up among two or three. Just my opinion.

[796spdbu]

Bill if I can make a suggestion? Can we donate some of the money to the actual Annas Army foundation or to the Reno family?

Well, we started this thread to help out the one family for christmas so I hate to change up. Plus, and this is just my opinion, I love helping families at Christmas time, Melinda and I have done it for years. This is something that we see instant results from and it really makes a difference to that family or families that day. Sometimes foundations are a bit slower to the help and have their own methods of helping. Nothing wrong with that, but I think for this fundraiser, as a community, we should just do the Christmas giving. Maybe down the road, look at helping the foundation.
Maybe this could be another Rat Pack project for 2012?

IMHO... I completely agree put some smiles on the "families" faces at Xmas, and do more later...

[796spdbu]

I stand corrected guys. Im new to this. Ill call Andi and see if we can find a third family.

I do want to thank all the people and businesses who have organized,donated,bid,and helped spread the word of this auction.

[moreHP]

This is just awesome. I would like to see the money split between the families since it does look like it will be a large amount.


That said, I will go $175 on item 11, the trailer accessories kit.

[ChevelleNV]

Ill bump Item 10 TCI $1000 gift certificate to $375.00
