I am so far away I doubt I would be able to help with much other than some money ...well that would probably be the best as it takes money to ship stuff and they would put that to much better use. I myself am on disability and am just starting testing to do some new job after a hand injury left me with a pernanent disability which makes me unable to do my old job. My son too is out of work and I know how much I am trying to help him out with my meager income. Yes I will help! Let me know where to send funds.
