October 11, 200619 yr Thanks Watusi. Here are some pics of Keith and his beautiful little girls. If you can honestly look at these pictures and tell me that its not worth helping out... Those little girls need their daddy.
October 11, 200619 yr Good luck with everything. What are you all looking for as far as items being used for the silent auction?
October 11, 200619 yr Good luck with everything. What are you all looking for as far as items being used for the silent auction? Anything that would be bought in a silent auction. So far, we have things such as gift certificates, t-shirts, sweatshirts, free oil changes, sunglasses, free car washes, autographed basketballs, tickets, sound equipment, computer equipment, and a few other things that have slipped my brain. Also, many places are donating money which will go straight to Keith and his family for medical bills.

October 12, 200619 yr Thanks Watusi! Also, a special thank you to the fellow Bluegrass Preppers who don't Keith Cochran, Wireman, or Stick1 - but have still found it in your hearts to private message one of us and make awesome donations. God Bless all of you. I don't want to post your names, but you guys all know who you are and it means the world to all of us.
October 12, 200619 yr Author I ditto that message. Thanks to you guys that posted the places folks could go and thanks to all of you who are getting involved. There's nothing more that I would love than for one of us to be a match so those little girls can grow up to know their daddy! It only takes ONE match so you never know! Keep spreading the word!
October 12, 200619 yr Tested and blood given. I really hope he finds a match soon. I think what you all are doing for him is wonderful. The pictures are priceless, and, eventhough we do not know him, tell him he has friends pulling for him in BG.

I know you have a lot on your plate and I appreciate you having such a giving heart! God bless you and Purple Haze:thumb:
October 12, 200619 yr I think you are the wonderful person. He and his family are so fortunate to have a friend like you....All of you that have donated as watusi pointed out, you all are wonderful! I just hope he finds a match real soon. I was told that it is sometimes so hard for a match to be found, so, extra prayers are being sent. Please, I have seen what your alls prayers can do....PLEASE PRAY he finds a match. It is so sad, there are so many people who need blood transfusions (as PH did) bone marrow ( as this guy does) and organ transplants (like our friend does) and there are just not enough donors...at least that is how it seems. The way I see it, if I don't need it, let someone else have it. My goodness, this stuff is what stands between someone living and not....

PLEASE sign your driver's license or donor card! You could deliver someone from a desperate situation, and save a family from losing a loved one. If you should die suddenly, at least your death will have brought the gift of life to another person--maybe even several people.
