Please help a fellow member of the 914world.com get a much-needed motorized wheelchair by donating thru the 914Club.

You can donate by clicking the "pay pal" button at the bottom of this page.
If you don't know what "pay pal" is, you can read all about it by clicking here
Or, if you would rather send a check, please make the check payable to Brad Roberts and send it to:

SSI
C/O Brad Roberts
20 Pamaron Way
Novato, Ca. 94949

All donations go towards obtaining a chair for Korijo.

Dave, (or "Korijo" as he is known on the 914world.com BBS), has ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

He is 28. ALS is a fatal neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness resulting in paralysis.
To learn more about this devastating disease go to this site www.lougehrigsdisease.net

Dave's married to Kori and they have 2 little kids: Keone David is 18 months old and Elijah David is 1 month old.
Dave was a sponsored skateboarder and worked construction.

Now, due to being stricken with ALS, he uses his time by playing with his sons and working on his 914 with the help of fellow 914world.com members Chris Reale & Geoff (Bleyseng) along with a few others in the Seattle area.
ALS has brought him to the point of barely being able to use his hands & arms.

He was turned onto the 914 because he was a VW lover and found out that 914s are based on a VW.
He found his 914 on ebay, bought it, then he and a friend drove it back to Seattle, where he began its restoration into an Auto Cross car for his children.
His desire is to leave his children a legacy.
He also has a Bug that has been fully restored and is quite stunning to look at.

Chris has helped Dave out with electrical stuff like lights, dropped his engine and split the case (Bleyseng helped split the case as well) and with suspension stuff.
Geoff (Bleyseng) has welded in a new floor pan, battery tray and engine shelf.

While being consumed by the 914 bug, he naturally has parts all over the house, some of which Keone likes to get into and play with.
Keone had a full roll cage in his room, something most kids cannot claim to have had!
His wife, Kori is originally from Oregon, and is a sweet person, and has quite a bit of patience with Dave and his car parts.

With as many close knit members in the 914Club (500+), all it would take is a small donation from each of us to help Dave (Korijo) get his chair in no time flat, and time is something he doesn't have much of.

If you'd like to make a donation, please click the button above...

Yes, I used the link.
There wasn't anything as yet set up for it to go to his fund. As soon as Brad get back from his meeting I think he will be working this out. I just wanted to be sure this would work.

I just opened the PayPal link to see if there was a way to specify the donation was for Korijo. I don't know if it will show up to the proper authorities but, under the area of "GIFT ADDRESS" you can add Korijo's name. I also added his name interspersed within my address.
Jeroen, Sir Andy & Brad
Can either of you check to see if this will work?
Also, is there an address that can be posted for those that do not have a PayPal acct. and want to send a check?
Below is a copy of the area in PayPal that will accept Korijo's name.
:flower: bruce

Enter Address Information

Please specify if shipping to you or to someone else and then enter the shipping address.


Recipient:
My Address (Home/Work)

Gift Address

Enter a name for your gift address above

I will donate everything in the account... so no need to specify..

We have 1100$ right now with everything combined (April 6th 12:26 Pm)

I'm still planning on donating 500$ from the sale of "Muellers 6" when I have it ready.

This is where I need some help. I have the ability to send out a mass email, but never intended to use it like "spam". Can I use it and NOT get my ass fried for spamming people with the admin@914world.com account ?? The cause is right and my intentions are correct but I dont need pissed off people.

Let me know what you think.

Tryan,

To keep it simple: Send checks to

SSI C/O Brad Roberts
20 Pamaron Way
Novato, Ca. 94949

I have a PayPal bank card and can deposit through bank machines to the account using the card. When it comes time to pay for the chair I will give them the card number like a credit card.

If it is from someone I know and for a good cause I do not mind at all.
We still need a snail mail address for the people that do not want to deal with paypal.

Way to go Bruce to get this started! Dave (Korijo) is a great guy with ALS so if everyone helps alittle bit we can get this done for him. I do want Dave to be able to show up for the 914 events we have up here (the pitiful few) plus to be able to get around too!

Brad, some might get upset but I think most would view it as a good cause. If you feel you should get clearance from admin@914world.com account people then better to wait. It can't hurt. Yer doin' a great job there Brad.... thanks

Geoff, let me know when a get together is planned with Dave involved and I'll try to make it up. My sister lives in Seattle so I could make it a double event (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Well, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) here we go so I guess we're movin' forward (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Bruce,

F-them if I get any crappy response from people that receive the "admin" email. (forgot I was an ASSHOLE)


I need something written up that I can send out. We need to describe who Dave is and little about his 914 being built by other club members. I have met him personally but dont feel that I have enough info to write a email about the situation. The email has to "sell" people on the idea of donating.

I'll send it out tonight if we can get something written up (people will have it in their email for Monday morning)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Brad, I kinda figured you'd say something like that. Right on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
I just emailed Geoff (Bleyseng) since he's helped Korijo quite a bit, he knows him and can either write something for ya or furnish me with some info and I'll put it down.
I got the ok from Damp Dave to do a post on Pelican. It's on that site now too with your address for mailing checks and a directive to 914club for paying via PayPal.
We'll get this, one way or another.

Chris Reale knows him better than I.
Dave is building the 914 for one of his kids plus it gives him something to do ie: a passion. Hell, what better than a 914! Imagine dying slowly......and he is only 27 years old. His life was before him and stolen away by this cruel disease. We relate because he was also in construction so we always talk shit about that.... I have held his newborn baby in my arms which is kinda fun. Looks just like him but better lookin.
Dave should be at the "914 Breakfast in Seattle event", I know he wants to go. I'll check or maybe he will post soon about it.
I hope you make it up Bruce as it should be fun, if not, I do want to move the Breakfast Event around to different places and cities so we can show off the cars and eat in some fun places too.
Andy says he might come which would be cool too, heck, did he even get a Honeymoon?
