I am not sure if this is allowed according to Forum regulations, but would it be allowed to do a "Fund Raiser"? With so many People in the Forum if you would just donate 20$ per Person (of course it could be more) that should collect some Support. I would be part!

Tremendous improvement Wes! I will keep praying and if the admins give the nod you can count on us helping too! The car, though not near as important as the son (and daughter!) is great to see too! Blessings!

Glad to hear that Wes. Administrators, I know Wes personally and he is a genuine person, ex marine who served our country, and great all around guy who has worked all his life to support his family and try to "live the American dream". This would be a very worthwhile cause if the forum would start a "Save Wes' son's eyesight" fund.

Admins,.......PLEASE consider this.

Glad to hear that your son is doing better but WOW on the cost of those glasses. I'd chip in a bit to help out.

Later,

Wes, that is such great news to hear. Here's hoping for your sons continued improvements.

If we can get approval going for this and get a gofundme or similar running for Wes's son I am in for $100.

GoFundMe might get more attention! I can divert some project funds!
