As many of you know my step father Ron Duck was seriously hurt at work back in July 06. At this time he is paralyzed from his neck down. He was hurt due to a faulty deck plate on a loading dock at his work but due to the laws in VA workman's comp does not have to pay for all of his real needs. They have a cap of $25,000 that is all they have to pay.

Now if you truly know me you know I do not ask for handouts at all. Ron is very important part of my life and my mother as well. We are looking at close to $275,000 just to convert her house, buy a handicap van, provide the lifts for him, handicap bed, and many many other things. As you can imagine $25,000 is not going to touch this and we are not a wealthily family with a quarter of a million dollars laying around. My Mom is stressed to the Max enough with fighting cancer and I am really down with not being able to do more. People I truly hate to ask but if you can do anything to help this situation please please let me know. I have setup a PAYPAL trust fund for Ron.

The Paypal email is RonDuckFund@aol.com


Now for the people that do not know Ron I will tell you alittle about his past. For many years Ron has played SANTA at the local malls and has always been a person to help others. He has been one of the many positive rolemodels to help keep me on the right track in my life. At Christmas he would always go around as Santa with many Churches giving gifts to families in need.

Again, if you can do ANYTHING please don't hesitate to get with me. No matter how big or small it will help! If you don't have PAYPAL and want to help just let me know.

Thanks in Advance....

2nd Prize- Cruise or Trip for Two (Working on Details)
3rd- Big Screen TV
4th- Home Entertainment System
5th- Laptop Computer

Tyring to get everything straight before I post about it...
