I can't believe that it has been six years since we all first met young Frances. She has inspired so many with her enthusiasm and spirit. To honor that and hopefully help her with getting her car across the finish line, I have put some videos together. https://youtu.be/DZnfLkYAWs0?is=vMqvXkWd1wmcEVug
I am working on a go fund me type page for her. (It is not quite done ) https://tinkergineering.m-bam.com/fund-raising

What is needed to finish the car?
Nevermind , I just watched the video.
First - Congrats on Cornell !
Second, I have $500 burning a hole in my pocket.
Give me the address to send money for Francis.
Paying it forward for all the people on World that have helped me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I’m not sure about the current issues with taxes and PayPal but it might not be in her best interest to receive $20k through PP.

Bruce PM’d me her mailing address so I can send a check.

I added the page I am working on for her that you can donate directly to her papal account.through https://tinkergineering.m-bam.com/fund-raising. It is still a work in Progress but it functions enough to get people an idea of why she is so special and can take them to a donation link, so we can all share it with others who may be able to help her out.
Here is the 2nd video about how this is possible. https://youtu.be/XshaXEYtucA?is=30EeNKxDGeC_E_lC

The 914 was a big part of making Cornell Possible. Now you are a big part of making her 914 Possible. I am working on a video from the community showing examples of supporting her. I already have some sound bites from a few of us but I could use some more. If your down (or anyone else too) grab your phone and record something and share it with me in a Google drive (or whatever you use) and share it to matt@914rubber.com
Thank you for all you do for the community

Ok; mailing address would be fine. Key is to get the contribution to her.

404 on the donate links. Is there another option so Paypal doesn't take their cut?

Her short list that she sent me:

Shift linkage, throttle clutch cable, and she know there is more.

That is what she sent me anyways.

I sent her America's birthday but you all do you.
