The web based Porsche community can make a difference.

Warren needs our help Gang.

He is the best when it comes to P-car advice. Warren is a true Godsend.

PLEASE, Please, please donate anything you can to help. Let's show everyone what an awesome group "teeners" are!

Thanks,

E.

Here's the info on donating:

The official paypal fundraising account for Warren is kvalent118@gmail.com. Paypal website is https://www.paypal.com/

Please help Gang. I've watched this community come together for various other causes... this is for real. This is for "good". Read On:

Dear Friends,
Many of you know that maintaining, driving and restoring old Porsches is both a hobby and passion for me. There is an online community in the form of a bulletin board that has become an amazing technical resource for the hobby. This board is frequented by a few amazingly bright individuals who freely share their wisdom and experience so that others may benefit. Warren Hall from San Angelo, Texas, is one of the most prolific resources we have.

I write to you today on his behalf. Warren, known as Early S Man on the Pelican Parts Bulletin Boards, is in St Paul Hospital in Dallas TX in need of a lung transplant due to his lifelong struggle with Cystic Fibrosis. Warren has been a tireless contributor to the Porsche hobby and long time Porsche enthusiast.

Warren is caught in the grip of a broken health care system. He does not have insurance, but has assets that do not quickly allow him into the Medicare/Medicaid system. The surgery and aftercare is expected to cost $500,000 and the hospital will not consider him a candidate until he can prove his ability to pay. Warren's other challenge is time. His Doctor has given him 3 - 4 months to live without the transplant. We need to raise minimum of $350,000 in the next 30 days to get him in the system and on the transplant list.

I am writing you today in hopes that you will help by generously contributing to the fund set up to pay for the procedure. Some long time board members on Pelican have started a fund and collected over $10,000 in less than 24 hours. I'm asking you to visit the thread at http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=384258 and contribute to this fund. Warren deserves our help and WE can make a difference and help save his life. Please visit and give generously.

Man... this group sure has changed.

E,

There is a problem with Paypal as of today. CKs need to be sent. A lot of people here are on the bird board.

“Fuching paypal has frozen my account due to the increase in transactions and it will probably be several days before it is open again. Please everyone who still wants to contribute do so by check!”

I saw that... I'm just stunned by the lack of response here. This group has given and given over the years, thousands of dollars, cars, etc.

This is a guy, a Porsche nut, with 3-4 months left and we can help.

Bumm'n... signing off.

Sending check tomorrow. Come on guys! The healthcare system is broken, and it may be one of us someday.
:edit: BTW, was this posted on the 914club and NARP websites(and any others I may have forgotten)? I went on 'Club's' website and didn't see it. I know many people (like me) only frequent one site, and as time is of the essence, I think this should be spread a little further. If it has been already, please disregard.

Never heard of him. But after a brief review of the Pelican thread and his profile, I know the type of guy that he is. And he deserves better. My check will go in the mail today.

Come on you guys. We can make a difference.

"Authorization Failed

I'll just try again later.

If you look at the last couple of pages of the Pelican thread, you can read the posts about the paypal currently not working and that you'll need to send in a check for now until it's straightened out.

Did someone make sure this is getting to all the 914 sites?
Mark D.

No offense to anyone, but a missing dog in Ohio got more traffic than this thread is getting. My check went in the mail yesterday.

Before I came over here a year ago I was just on the bird board. We are still one Porsche community. This is the way I made my donation with Paypal.

Guys,
Since the heartless bastards at paypal froze Kurt's accout, let's use mine for now. I cleaned it out so it's ready to accept donations. We're working to set up a foundation for Warren, but right now we need dollars to show the hospital and the press we are serious and we will get this done. thx

It was great to see that we as a community could come together for a greater cause.
