Every year around the Holidays, I attempt to find what I consider a worthy cause to get involved in in an attempt to help someone that I consider deserving of whatever help I can provide.

It turned out great and the outpouring of support from so many people and businesses for he and his family truly changed his life for the better. Last year I joined forces with [MENTION=2921]Yukon Joe[/MENTION], [MENTION=5818]RaptorWifey[/MENTION]y and others from here on the forum to help raise money for a friend of their's daughter that was in desperate need of a seizure response dog.

As always, all donations at the link below are more than welcome and every little bit helps.

Without such relief, skin problems create constant infection and significant health risks. </p><p></p><p>There is an option. Friends are asking you to help us provide a TRACK CHAIR for Dub. This chair is visible on the internet and is designed to allow an otherwise wheelchair bound individual stand erectly. It would allow him to stand to work on a car engine or hunt – even move about his job site in a standing position – again alleviating the stress and pressure to him otherwise. The chair is produced specifically for people like Dub. It is sold in Virginia and can be purchased as soon as we have the money for it.
