This site, well, actually many of the PEOPLE here, are the greatest kind out there.
Not very long ago, I was facing being homeless, and living in a friggen shelter, because of some health problems I got sledgehammered with recently, that cost me my job, and most everything I had.
Another team member here IM'd me out of the blue, and suggested I should post about my situation, and maybe someone close by could help find me a place to stay for a little bit, to get back on my feet.....
I was really reluctant to toss my personal life, and failures as a man out for everyone here to see.... He prodded though, and eventually I figured, what the hell. What have I got left to lose now anyways. Everything else is gone to shit....
Well...... Let me tell you.... Long story short, my friend..... This site got a donation collection together for me, and between them, and some money I was able to borrow from a family member, I was given a new chance on life.
I'm now here (in Arizona) almost 3000 miles away from home, with a place to lay down at night, given me by a very generous fellow team member, who has little himself, but a HUGE heart.... Just today, I met up with and started doing some work for another fellow team member here who was willing to extend a hand to my broken down, busted up, near useless self, and give me the chance to make a little money when I'm physically able, and regain a LOT of my self-worth again.
That, my friend... Well, it's beyond what words can even begin to describe.
This site, and most every one of it's members, are without a doubt, some of the absolute FINEST, most selfless, generous, and kind individuals you will ever be so fortunate to meet, bar none.
That I'm eternally grateful for what was done for me here, by a boatload of folks who've never even MET me, much less know who the hell I am, short of a screen name, is a worthy candidate for the understatement of the century.
These people gave me a chance to get my life back..........
I just don't know how to make anyone understand the depth of that...... But I know.
I can never thank these fine people enough. Never.......
God bless each and everyone of them !
I owe them everything!
