A moment of Praise

Finally after a long week I am sitting and taking a momnet to reflect and praise. I wanted to thank everyone who donated, also thanking those who attended the benefit supper where we had a blast. I also wanted to thank our church and other churches who helped make this all possible. We also were blessed with wonderful music on the might of the fundraiser with the celtic band they did a wonderful job!

For all those who are curious we got the bus, we did end up taking out a small loan to replace the tires and front rotor. WOW ever by tires for something that size LOL so we do have 1500 to repay. But, we really needed to be safe. There were some funny things we didn't know like if the vehicle you are trying to register is over 10,000 pounds you need to register commercially. SO we needed to buy and elephant scale, just joking. Another thing is if you are commercial you need triangles the orange kind big trucks use and an ABC fire extinguisher. Did I mention everything cost double also?? SO needless to say it has been an interesting week. But thankfully the bus is at our home ready for almost everyone. The lift is working great. If we have enough money we will go to bangor next week to buy the straps to secure Bobbys wheelchair to the floor.

So this site is staying open so everyone can follow our family through this journey. After the loan is paid off and we buy the straps we will next be saving to make our bathroom handicap accessible. If anyone knows of any programs that help with handicap bathrooms please email me. Thank you.

Thanks again for all our support!
