Default Not sure how to ask

Hello everyone I really don't know how to go about this as I've always been very self sufficiant but now I don't know. I've been a Pontiac guy for almost as long as I've been driving & have always taken care to keep myself going. Now A little backround, I became disabled in 2004 from a work injury. I'm divorced & have custody of my 15 year old daughter. I live on a fixed income on the amount I use to make a week now I make a month. I'm not complianing but , here goes. I find myself in a position now that I am reaching out to all who read this. My health in the past couple of years has gone down hill alot & the bills keep coming in. I now find myself in the postion that I need to go back in to have another operation this time on my shoulder. I really don't know of any way to ask this other then come right out & ask if any of my friends & those of you in our Pontiac family can donate , give , send me a little to help me get through this I would be very greatful. I'm not asking for anyone to send me alot, just a dollor or two, it would be very helpful. I hate to ask this but when all this hits you at one time it becomes very over whelming. If you can I say thank you in advance, & if you can't please say a prayer for me. If you are able my last name is Carpenter , my address is 423 N. 14th St. Niles MI. 49120. Thank & Merry Christmas & Happy New year.

I will send what I can, as well. I'm afraid it won't be a lot, as I lost my job 6 weeks ago. But I'm about to ask this great community for help with my late Jim's stuff, so I feel it's only right to pay it forward. Good luck to you, and God Bless. May we all come out of this OK. Hang in there!

Thank You Thank You, to any and all who have sent a message of hope to me I can at this time only say Thank You so very much. I didn't ever think I would be in this positio in my life as Work was always good and I was strong and healthy, but now ,, well getting old is a real sh@* but I do try to keep my head up as I know that GOD will help me through. Again any and all help is worth more then I can ever say thank you for but some way you'll all be in my prayers toning and always. GOD BLESS ALL.

Do you have a paypal address? I don't even use checks anymore but more than willing to help out a brother especially during the holidays. Let me know.

Default Not sure how to ask???

I wish I could let all you know how much it means to me & my daughter. I've told her that we may be able to have some extra so I can give her sometings for Christmas this year. I haven't seen her this happy for awhile now. She does so much to help me here to keep thing going because I'm not able to do all the things I use to be able to. I was given custody of my daughter when I got divorced from her mother, who well I won't say what I really feel about her as she is no help what so ever & it was a joy & gift that I got her during the divorce as it would have been a bad thing if she was with her mother. I want all to know that your gifts will make us very happy this year. I want you to also know that your words of hope have brough me to tears on more than once. Godd Bless everyone. Rex.

Prayer and check on it's way. Are you by yourselves for Christmas? I'm about 4 1/2 hours south - you and your daughter are welcome to spend it with me and my wife.
