I'm really ashamed that we have had so many people read this with so little response. I do want to thank those of you who have read this and committed to do something.
I started asking myself why
? We've all spent $20-30k on our cars and continue to spend for mods but we can't spare $10-$100 bucks to help this kid. I began to think . . "perhaps they think it's a scam" . . . so I went searching.
Here's what I found in the Washburn County Register • 715-468-2314 • Fax 715-468-4900 • PO Box 455, Shell Lake, WI 54871 . . . .

Bobby was a millwright apprentice for Local 548.
He was preceded in death by his father, Richard "Sleepy" Hill; and maternal grandparents Ollie and Ella Daniels.

I don't see an option for not going to do anything? Not to be an hiney, but I don't see why this kid is so special. He isn't dieing of cancer or anything. I'm sure theres lots of young kids with mustangs out there. I don't remember anybody sending me money when I was 15/16 and had a mustang

Next time when your going to make a comment about a situation particular to this one, know the situation first before you try and make a foolish comment.
Btw, i'll be sending the kid a gift certificate. Hopefully that will cheer him up alittle.

There is a saying that goes something like.......You never stand so tall as you do when you stoop to help a child. I think this applies here.

I will send a gift certificate. Anything you do for someone else will be returned 10 fold. I think about how this boy must feel today with his dad gone on Fathers Day.

Please call Mustangs Unlimited if you bought Josh a gift certificate and ask them to change the address.
