Members carolina-rig-01 Posted August 29, 2007 Members Posted August 29, 2007 this may be a little lengthy but please read. my cousins wife who happens to be the sweetest person you could ever ask to meet has been a diabetic since an early age. a few years back she was added to a donor list, and after a few years of constant worry and some of the worst luck you could ever imagine she recieved a kidney and pancreas transplant. afterwards she battled through what i would assume to be normal hurdles for someone in that situation, one big setback that i won't go into but it was simply negligence on the part of the hospital, after several months of driving to st. louis on a regular basis for check ups and doctor visits, she got back on her feet for the most part. then her employer decided that they could do without her and laid her off. now she was on my cousins insuriance through his work, but the hospital kept waiting to send out any kind of bills for some reason. in the mean time their insuriance company folded belly up and of course their new insuriance is refusing to pay for this, and you can only imagine what kind of bills this must be. so now they were living on my cousins paychecks, and just the other day he had to have an emergency surgery on his colon and he can't work for atleast 90 days. their short term disability won't kick in until after 90 days so that means no money coming in at all. imagine trying to explain this whole story everytime someone calls wanting to know where your truck payment or house payment is at. the reason for this long story is, i am wanting to have a benefit bass tourney to kinda help relieve some of their stress. nothing is set in stone but at this point i am leaning towards having it somewhere on table rock. i was wondering how many people would be interested in fishing it or have any advice that might help out. thanks for reading and God Bless!

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted August 29, 2007 Root Admin Posted August 29, 2007 Is there a fund or somewhere someone could just send a donation? We belong to Christian Care Medishare which isn't really an insurance company but a group of people who share in their medical expenses. Reason I'm mentioning this... if every member here sent $10, we could help with their need up to almost $22,000. NOT saying we should and I'm not asking- but for those who wouldn't or couldn't fish a tournament, it would be a chance to help.
Members carolina-rig-01 Posted August 29, 2007 Author Members Posted August 29, 2007 lilley, that is a great idea. i never thought of that, but i will try to set something up. i have never been a part of something like this and don't really know how to go about it. i just would rather the money get sent somewhere other than me just to keep people from getting the wrong idea. let me kick that idea around a little and see what i can do. thanks for the idea.

Members RonS. Posted September 5, 2007 Members Posted September 5, 2007 I like Phils Idea Count me in on the 10 if someone will tell me where to send it.Also maybe a silent auction of some donated items on tournament day might help.
Members carolina-rig-01 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Members Posted September 6, 2007 Ron, my wife is going to the bank tomorrow to set up a fund where donations can be sent. i will get the information out as soon as i can. thanks for your help!

Fishing Buddy Don House Posted October 9, 2007 Fishing Buddy Posted October 9, 2007 C-RIG 01, I'm already booked for that day, so get us the information I'm in for a donation, also if you get the silent auction going I will be willing to put in a Half Day Guided Trip on Table Rock for two next year myself. Not much but I can do that if it will help. May be some of the other guides on here can do the same.. Just a thought.. God Bless and keep up the good work.. Capt. D Capt.
