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...

Hey Dave I checked on that van again. I made a mistake on the wheelchair lift. She has an assisted living for the elderly. She just uses the fold up wheelchairs & puts them in back. I don't know where I got the idea in my head it had the lift. Sorry about that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'm waiting for a call from a contact that builds these vans specific to the needs of the person here in Portland. He has some used vans available too.
Charlie (part owner of) Performance Mobility is in a chair himself. He also races a VW Rabbit with hand controls. At least that's what he raced a few years back when I needed a car top carrier for my wifes chair. I'll see what he has & what prices we're looking at. The more eyes open to what's out there.....

Korijo, I'm going to Performance Mobility where an aquaintence has & builds vans with chair lifts. They asked if I could get your seated heigth measurement so we could best understand the size van you'd be looking at. Email me at ballert@guidedogs.com with that info please. I'll be going around 130. I'll also get pics & post em.

Hey B,
When you check to pay pal history you may see a few donations from the BMW community. I posted a link to this thread on a couple of BMW Boards I surf. Great bunch of guy's. I hope they help.

Thanks Rich,

I have noticed quite a few names/email addresses that I didnt recognize flowing in.

We will get there. The flow has slowed, but it is still coming in.

I guessed the flow had slowed. I think it's time for idea's for phase II. I think everyone should go paste a link to this thread on other boards they visit. There are a lot of non 914 car guy's out there that would get behind this. We've seen them coming from the 911 boards, and others. Everyone post a link someplace over the next two days and lets see if the flow increases.

Hmmmm, good idea. I'll post one on the TUG board. That's a bbs where thousands of timeshare people gather to gab.

I have posted a few places a swell, and one has been "locked" Fuck em. They are worried that it will promote "beggers" to ask for money to pay for debts. I thought they would understand, but everything is peachy on their forum, so why would they want to be made aware of someone else's problem? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Really, it makes me sad because i thought they were better people than that...

ChrisReale and all, I had a much better response so far. The BMW boards I posted on have left the request up. I received some very nice email asking for B's address. I guess I should have made it part of my post. Not everyone will warm up to this. All we can do is ask. Lets see if we can come up with a few other angles. I'm too far away to help any other way.

Hey Bruce, Go and edit your first post on this thread and ad B's adress and instructions for the pay pal info.

Also add the family info you and B sent to us in the email so people not familier with Dave and his family can read about him.

It will make it easier for non 914 visitors not interested in reading all the chat to get the info they need to make a donation.

I posted on the E12 and 2002 BBS on roadfly.com site.
Also on the E12 (I have a 1977 530I) http://www.firstfives.org./

Like I said, The message hasn't been taken down yet. But I'm watching them. Not everyone is as receptive to this type of thing. I'm just glad to help. Thanks,
