Hi Gang,
I checked with Bobby Lee to see if this was ok to post and he said to post it. (THANKS BOBBY!!!)
Most of you know my story of the motorcycle accident that was "head on" by a distracted diver leaving me a T-12 Paraplegic in a wheelchair.
I never ask for much help, but, this time I am asking from my Steel Guitar Brothers and Sisters for a "Vote".
May is National Mobility Awareness Month, and the Organization NMEDA is giving away a fully handicap accesible mini van to a deserving disabled person.
There is NO COST, There are NO PLEDGES... all it takes is 30 seconds of your time to vote for me.
This is truly something that I do need, as time goes on.
I have been transfering in and out of a used, high mileage 2001 Dodge Caravan that is NOT ACCESIBLE and is getting tougher as time goes on and as I am aging and has been "killing" me with repairs. Just replaced a transmission.
I truly could use this NEW VAN for commuting to work, Volunteering at the Hospital Spinal Cord Unit and My local VFW and playing some steel guitar gigs.
If you could find it in your heart to "Send a vote my way". I would greatly appreciate it.
Here is the link to the voting web site:
http://www.mobilityawarenessmonth.com/entrant/kurt-kowalski-kendall-ny/
Thanks in advance for helping a Brother out.
If you want to read more about this please click on the link and check out my stroy online.
Keep Steelin' Gang, LOVE YOU GUYS AND GALS!!
Sincerely,
Kurt Kowalski
