It does feel good. But money is only part of this effort. Mrs DF and I have added David to our prayers and thoughts. We know we are only paying forward help provided to us desperate times. We do it with gratitude in our hearts to God and our fellow man. It is a confirming opportunity to experience how selflessness is supposed to work. The need identified, voluntarily met and exceeded. David is edified. We are edified. Freedom to engage or not is preserved and no scoundrels accumulated nor imposed power. It is a beautiful thing. Wouldn't you say?

Hello Sig Forum. I got a lift down to McDonalds to check in with you all. I saw what you folks did and thats astounds me. This is a huge relief also as my mind has too much time to worry in a broken car. I know with the help I am getting from the Members here, I will be making some solid changes for the good. I have much to say to show my grattitude for this. I will do better when I can get to a public computer. For now, please know I am grateful and eager to get my life restarted, beyond a Flea Market.

I have recieved 2 packages at Joes home and I need to share this. I will follow up by email to those who shipped them to me. Guys, I got 2 packages yesterday. Both contatined knives which I am proud as one can be to habe. One is a belt clip folder and it is the 1st such knife I've ever owned. Believe it is a Byrd. I thank the kind soul who gave that to me and will be emailing him. The other package contained a Swiss Army knife sandwiched between cardboard with a note written on it. Attached to the Swiss Army knife is a 1907 Indian head penny. Thats 112 years old. Every darn bit of that parcel, knife, penny and note of good luck, I will cherish for the rest of my days. How kind and good people. Thank you as those packages brightened my days.

Hello Q, love you brother. Im spending a lil time here with my friend from Germany. He had his dialysis port moved to a new spot on his tummy. He needs a kidney, hopefully this year. He stops up to the Market to visit as he knows my old sedan is done. Dont have to twist my arm to come down for coffee.

A big thank you to Para for the help through a excellent Forum. Hope I didn't cause 6guns too much of a problem. I am grateful for your help in this sir. Good day all. David Lee.
