Well a lots of folks here don't know me, many do, I joined NCKA many tides ago, before PIF started and Ive seen it help many brothers and sisters here, I always tried to do my best with art donations and love. Mooch was a brother to me and I will take his positive outlook on life with me everywhere I go.
I moved to OR 6 months ago, got a job after two weeks and have been working my ass off for kind of low pay, but it has insurance benefits so whatever, I got my own place and was just getting even financially, then I got sick 3 weeks ago, some kind of virus that has kicked my ass, I almost called 911 a few times. Im well enough today to get blood drawn and will find out in a few days. My money was tapped as of last week, even after I took a cash advance from my credit card to get by, and I was not sure how things were going to go. Jim and the A-hulls sent me a check for 2K. It really saved my ass and sent tears down my face, Im not one who takes any handout easily and I can't express the gratitude I have for NCKA. I love you guys. Ben

Good to hear from you, my man.

Let us know if you need anything else!

Good job A-Hulls!

I'm so glad the $$ helped you out Ben. I'd forgotten you were up in Oregon.

Bendo's on the mendo.  I thought you went to Oregon for the eclipse and never came back!  Hope you get better dude.  I remember you sling shotting pebbles in the lake when mooch was bass frogging, and every pebble he thought was a blow up!  Ahhh memories.

We all love you Ben and are glad you posted on FB that you were in need of some help...

I apologize to the community that I didn't do an announcement sooner...have been busy with other stuff recently...

Will do a post soon of PIF account balance etc...

Ben please make sure you listen to the docs and do what they say, AND do not hesitate to let us know if you need more help...

You are an integral part of this community and have helped out many of us in many different ways over the years...I have one of your paintings in my home and see it and think about Mooch and you at least once a day...

 :smt008

Sincerely,

Jim

We're just trying to help, brother! That donation is from everybody in this club. The A-hulls are just providing a way for everybody to give back. And giving back feels good. So the Thank You's are appreciated, but we can't take all the credit. "No matter what you do to live, thrive, and survive; there are some things that make us all the same. You, me, him, her, everybody!" --John Belushi
Btw I'm pretty sure you are an official A-hull too, Ben!
