Title: A Fellow Bus Nut in Need
Post by: Nick Badame Refrig/ACC on May 19, 2015, 02:39:02 PM
Hi Folks,

I wouldn't normally do this however, a fellow Bus Nut is in dire need of help!

Dave Siegel and his wife have fallen on hard times and they are reaching out for help.

Dave is the creator of our Help Assist List on this board and has always helped others in the past..

He has started a Go Fund Me page so he can pay his coming rent until they can get back on their feet.

Please read his plea!

Any little bit helps.. This is who we are, we try to help bus nuts in need and sometimes it has to be money!

Thanks All.
Nick-

This is why we're a community. This has happened to more than one of us in the past, and the people here in our little community have been outstanding
in coming through to help. If you are able to offer assistance, please do so.

When I fell on hard times, friends came forward to help me out.  I'm glad I'm in the position I can pay it forward.

Just wanted to give this a bump. I don't know these folks but I could see the same thing happening to my wife and me. My wife worked for Bank of America for 25 years. Less than a year ago her new manger informed her that her position was being eliminated. Luckily for us she was offed a far severance package and other jobs are available in this area. We all spend a lot of money on this hobby. Just seems we could at least get them to their goal. I feel much better about helping these people than the guy at a street corner with a sign in his hand.

We thought that this one was worthwhile, so we made a donation, too. I hope they catch a break.
