I just got word from "a friend of ours" (Joe Scafide, AKA Tupperware Joe) that his two year old Grandson is being treated for Leukemia. Can you imagine getting news like that and what this dear little child (and his family) will go through for the next three years of his life!
Please help if you can and donate to his go fund me page https://www.gofundme.com/anthony-scafide-leukemia-fund and also share with your social media contacts. A prayer or two can't hurt either.
Thank you so very much!

Prayers for Anthony on a successful treatment and a full recovery.
Our standard practice has been to require that any request for donations must go through a 501c3 organization. That provides some safeguards to donors because the agency is required to file reports with the Internal Revenue Service on how they spent the money. It also makes the donations tax deductible.
There have been exceptions, of course, such as when a long-time, active site user falls on hard times, needs some immediate help and generous site users spontaneously jump in and try to help through a gofundme account or with direct contributions.
There is some danger involved in those independent funding requests and those who participate accept the risk that the money may not be used for the purpose indicated.
If some of you believe the cause is worthy and want to participate, you will do so. If you do not want to participate, that's fine, too.

Thank you Jim. I did check the "Corvetteforum Rules, Guidelines, and Etiquette" section but nothing jumped out at me.
Joe asked for my help and I didn’t hesitate.
Sorry if I stepped on IB toes.

Oh mannnnnn, I am so sorry to hear this Joe, thoughts and prayers going out for your little Grandson.
I am planning to donate to help the cause and may GOD Bless your little Grandson and bring him back to full strength and health as soon as possible.
Bob, thanks for posting this.
