Stan.

I just came across this post, and I wanted to extend you my deepest sympathy. Times are tough for so many people, and I have seen many close friends lose their jobs recently. It breaks my heart to see such good people down on their luck, you included, and I will be praying that you get back on your feet soon.

I have never spoken to you or met you in person, yet I still feel this knot in my stomach. I've been in your position before, and had no one to turn to. In my opinion, it is the hardest thing to do...asking for help, especially from those who don't know you and could be quick to judge.

I read this entire thread, and I would like to do my part and send you what I can.

To blackcrossfire07 - I understand exactly where you're coming from. I too do not give money to the homeless, although it breaks my heart to see them on the streets. I do not know whether they are scam artists, and part of me wonders if they make more money than I do sitting on street corners every day. There are those who really are homeless, but I feel MOST are able to get their butts off the street and get a job.

In Stan's situation, he is NOT able to get a job at the moment, and is trying his hardest to make ends meet.

Like someone else said, $1.00 from each member would help out a fellow XF owner, and in my opinion, it will give ME a great sense of satisfaction to do my part.

Good luck Stan, and please keep us posted on how you're doing. I doubt we'll ever cross paths, but I can't sign out of this forum today without helping you. I really hope a job opportunity bites for you soon.

Paypal payment will be sent momentarily.
