Trying to help a single mother who is being badly ripped off by "Strictly German" in Pasadena CA. They have had her car for over 6 months and nothing has been done. Her budget was $800 when she brought the car in.
What makes this a horrific story is that she is a single mother with three sons. First son suffers from severe Hemophilia A with spontaneous bleeding and is legally blind. Second son suffers from epilepsy with nocturnal seizures. Third son is ok. This car was their only mode of transportation and would have been used for groceries, etc.. They do not have a car and must take buses and walk. She is a brilliant sculptor and is barely making ends meet. The only wish she has is to have her 1975 Porsche 914 repaired and running. Her story is truly compelling, and deserves to be made into a film. I can't tell you how many times her Hemophiliac son has cheated death. Just incredible story. Her name is Jessica and her sons are Leonardo, Brian and Vance. They live in Arcadia, CA. If there is anybody in the 914 community that can help or offer some sort of lead to fix Jessica's car, please contact me. My name is Nick and I can be reached via email at: nigolusa@icloud.com, or my cell number (626) 979-4230. I am a family friend and have sacrificed so much for them. The 914 is a dream I cannot fulfill since I am unemployed. Thanks all for your help and resources. Attached image(s) |

Here is the latest update that will shed a very CLEAR light on this project.
Jessica's intentions are as follows: 1. Fix her 914 with original parts and make it a solid runner and looker 2. Sell the car in a price range between ($6,000 - $8,000) 3. Use this money towards a dependable 4 door sedan for her and kids 2nd option I am personally in the process of finding her an individual and/or corporation who is willing to donate a dependable running car. I've contacted the Hemophilia Society of California and some other non-profits. Unfortunately, I cannot find anybody willing to donate a car for this family. I've also contacted Leonardo's Pharmacy. His medication which is called Factor VIII, costs $3,000 an infusion. Multiply that by 3 per week and that's $36,000 a month just to keep him alive. I thought his pharmacy would be wiling to help. No idea their intention. I'm also thinking to raise money and awareness through crowdfunding resources. Create a video starring Leo and chronicle his everyday life without a car. Perhaps people can see how difficult it is for him and his mother and brothers to get around. Ultimately, YES she needs dependable transportation for her and her kids. That's the primary goal. But, I'm trying to get her the best of both worlds. Because she loves that 914 and she deserves to keep her car, PERIOD!!! I want to get her 914 fixed, as well as find an entity who is willing to donate an automobile. Let me know your thoughts and if you have any great leads. I need to get this family a car and very very soon. Let's hope I can accomplish both!!! Thanks again and yes I do have confidence in people. It's just I'm the type of person that wouldn't hesitate for a second. Knowing what I know, I would give them the shirt off my back, so to speak. I'm sure you can appreciate that. |
