A few months ago, Cam shared with me the state of his 1994 wheel-chair-accessible van. I suggested that someone experienced in such things should make him a GO FUND ME page. Well, a friend of his just did.

Next, I asked Ian and Amie if it would be OK for me to make a link on a post here to his GoFundMe.com page. Their response was, "...great idea..." so here it is.

Cam has been a Forum member for 10 years. He went to great lengths to be part of Axiom's 30th anniversary weekend in Dwight. The word "community" is used here quite often. Here's our chance to show we mean it.

Without a special van, Cam can't get to medical appointments, which I'm sure you can imagine are grueling, mandatory, and frequent. Needless to say, he won't be able to go anywhere.

Of course, any contribution is equally appreciated.

You're all very lucky that Ian and Amie OK'd this, or I was going to start a PM-blitzkrieg campaign that would have given YOU amnesia!

As Cam would say, "Linky:"

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

I know a thing or two about wheel chair accessible vans. They are very expensive. Imagine purchasing a vehicle and then having to spend $10,000 to $20,000 more. When it goes to the shop or you get hit, do you think you can just rent a car?

Walking and driving my car is something I rarely think about. I'm blessed to be able to do both. Let's help as much as we can.

Thanks so much, Bobby. And a big thanks to Ian and Amie.

Also, thank you very much to everyone that donates and/or shares the fundraising page. It's greatly appreciated!

There are many on the forum that don't know me or know about my disability. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

Again, thank you very much.

Cam, are there any questions that are off bounds?

And thanks to Chris (Lampy) who edited it and made the link for me, and to Mark who also offered his assistance.

It's hands-down the best post I've ever had the opportunity to write.

OK, now remember you said that I can ask anything!

Ready?

I'm going to install Windows 10 today on 5 different PCs, set them all up on a new network and install a Synology NAS with 36TB of drives. Do you think I'll be able to watch the Masters too, or is that too much multitasking?

Also, do you have any blueberries that I can have to put on my salad at lunch? I forgot to pick some up when shopping yesterday.

Oh, and can you diagnose a brake noise coming from the passenger-side rear wheel on my van?

Whew! I'm sure glad that you are open to all questions!

I have some frozen organic ones in the freezer, that I use for smoothies. I just need to find some dry ice.

That's easy. The excess weight in the drivers seat is causing the rear axle to be unbalanced. Hey.... you asked grin .

Anything else? HEHEHE
