Don, it looks like you are coordinating this. $100 sent, thanks for spearheading this for Mike and his boys.

Who else can match it, do better or better yet- who can help in any way at all? Let's keep this going.

Go to PayPal.com first and then send money to the above account name. The link just sends an email to that account, so ignore it.

Now here's a guy that simply does not deserve this...but at the same time is one tough SOB and I sure as heck hope and pray he can beat it. We fellow Pontiacers, and specifically us B Body guys, need him in our corner.

Thumbs up Ladies and gentlemen,
Prayers are nice and I'm sure they're welcome, but they won't pay the bills for the extraordinary extra expenses Mike and his family will now experience.

Step up to the plate. We, as PYers, have a long history of being generous to members in trouble or need. Your donation will continue that proud legacy.

Don, if a person doesn't have a paypal account how else could one send anything to help? This is really bad as I've been reading Mike's posts for years. I hate hearing this as this in some ways hits home with me as my stepmother and an uncle are fighting cancer and it's doubtful my stepmother will make it the next six months.
Prayers coming from the Tarheel state for Mike and his family from my wife and I. Good luck Mike.

I'm on the same page here, unfortunately. I'll need to know how else to send funds. Reading the original post kind of flattened me, as I just lost my lifetime best pal to colon cancer this New Years Eve. I've never met Mike, but back when I was a new member to this site, we had a few late night talks in the old chat room. In the course of our chats, he gave me some much needed insights into a few personal things I was going through at the time. I've thought of him as a friend ever since. Mike,you are a great man!

David posted Mikes address in the first post in the thread. Prayers are helpful, thoughts are appreciated, but there are immediate financial needs that must be dealt with. Thanks to everyone who cares enough to send something. Kurt

I guess the best thing would be to send them directly to him. His address is on the last page of Smoke Signals under the directors.

I knew you'd be along directly, Jim. You're a prince of a guy. We need to meet up some day so I can shake your hand.

Mikes address is in the first post of this thread. Mike worked from home, and that was the address he wanted to use for mail.

Thanks!

Just talked with Mike, he's been in the hospital since 2/28 and being self employed there has been no income. He's worried about paying the rent for his kids when he should be saving his energy for himself...
