His dad isn't doing so well these days and I want to do something to help him but I don't know what. I talked with my friend and asked for a little information so maybe I could write something publicly about him. After reading the info that came directly from his dad, I don't think there's any way I can put it that isn't what was already written. So I now share this with you.
After growing up as a abused child. I went in the Army at 17 years
old. I served in top secret jobs all over the world. I got out after
11 years of service. I went into the property management business and
worked my way up from the bottom all the way to VP of one of the largest
property management and development companies in the US. With nothing
but a GED. Because I was abused myself, I took in abused children as a therapeutic
foster parent. Right after I finally got to where I was making good
money I was hit by a meth addict and it busted my back in 3 different
places at 48 years old. I lost everything I owned except a old Harley and
a 95
Pick up. I just had to get rid of my bike because it was too heavy
because my back couldn't take the weight of the old Road King and I need
a smaller and lighter Harley. Riding is about all I have left in
this world that I can enjoy. I have had 3 different kinds of cancer in
the last year. 5 times total. I worked with a lot of Chemical and
nuclear weapons in the Army but they deny it has anything to do with
it. Now I am living on disability and will never be able to buy a new
bike. I have never had one but would love to.
My fiance is
also disabled, After taking care of me through all the back pain and 2
prostate surgeries, eye cancer surgery and 2 melanoma surgeries in the
last year and a half two weeks ago we found out she has female cancer
and must have surgery for that, but that will only buy her a couple of
years at most.. Our dream is to get a new bike (Harley) someday
and be able to
ride as far as we can and try to have a little fun for what time we
have left in this world. We both love to ride but we have to have something lite and comfortable for us to do this.
As I said earlier, I've known this man for a very long time, and he's always been a stand up guy. He's served our country for many years, helped take care of children that weren't even his, and raised a kid that became and is still is one of my best friends. I want to do whatever I can to help him with a dream.
If anyone has it within their hearts and abilities and would be willing to make any kind of contribution to help him, I think this would be a great and noble thing. He may not be around much longer but I'd love for him to be able to have that last ride into the sunset with his lady, and if there's anything I can do to help that, I will.
Thank you in advance for anyone that can help, and I ask that you please pass this story along to others that may be inclined to help as well.
You can make direct donations to him via paypal. Just go to Paypal and use his email address of pliny58@yahoo.com to send payment to his account.
Again, anyone that is able to make a donation is greatly appreciated and just one step closer to helping a man get closer to his dreams.
Thank you.
