Title: AHer needs your prayers
Post by: fudgums on January 08, 2010, 03:38:17 PM
Hello AHers, most of you know of a pilot named Ace, viper10, spektor, acegolf, maybe a few others. He flies with strokes and I alot. Around 12:00 today I got a text from him.

Around this morning, his house burnt and basically everything was lost. I don't know how bad it was or how it happened. He said that him and his family are doing ok. He said that they don't know atm of how it started or what. But you guys can keep him in your prayers it would mean alot to him.

If you want his number just PM me and I'll give it to ya.

Flew against him in the last BE tournament.  A class act.

Good luck to him and his family.

I know how he feels. Many prayers mate, though I havent had the privilege of flying with or against you. <S> Mate, and keep smiling, however hard it may seem.

Sorry to hear that. Sure glad he and his family are okay. Tell him chin up and move forward and to count his blessings! I know that's hard. Things can be replaced, family not so easy.

This is probabnly a situation where a fund for donations could be set up. It might not be a lot in the big scheme of things but if enough of us throw in ten or twenty dollars it could take a lot of pressure off.

Yep it is.  But, of course, there are more fires during the winter time, too, just because a family is trying to stay warm.

Been there done that, in the middle of winter, with 4 sons, and a wife........still own the tee shirt (is about all we escaped with....tee shirt).  Need some help, give me a PM.  I do not envy your loss what so ever!!  I am so sorry for what your are going through.....(brings back bad memories).

Thoughts and prayers are with ya Spek.

I work for an insurance company ( adjuster ) handling large loss property fires and the like. If your parents have any questions PM me and id be glad to call them and help them in any way i can.
 

Edit:  One thing i can tell you is just be sure to realize that this is just a stumbling block. I see people every day that have lost everything in fires. I just like to stress to them that its only "things" that were lost. The most important thing you have is each other, and if your all safe, those "things" can be replaced. Many times i see fires where thats not the case.

Im glad everyone is ok, and im here to help if needed. Just a PM away

Ace from me and mine our prayers are with you and yours. Not much in the way of help I can do right now, maybe some clothes or something, I'll need info as to size or whatever. Ok this is probably not going to come across the way I meant it to but I have a spare dual core comp just gathering dust. It needs a 350 watt PSU (minimum) to run but I'll be more then happy to send it to ya. I know you have more important things to worry about, but sometimes a little distraction can be a nice way to maintain your sanity. My wife and I were homeless last year because of work (or lack of) and had to live out of a hotel room, and gaming kept me from spinning out. You'll need a monitor and whatever inputs (keyboard, mouse, etc.) but if ya want it, it's yours, just give the green light.
