I recently found out a classmate was shot and paralyzed a few years ago. I heard he was battling bad depression so I friend ed him on Facebook wit idea that maybe I was supposed to help him somehow.
Today his post about Christmas made me realize how alone he was. I simply asked him for his address so we could send him a Christmas card. This is his response.


That would be nice. Thank you for thinking of me during the holidays. I will be alone again this Christmas. I have been alone every Christmas since I got shot! I try not to get depressed! It is hard though! The address here is

I have no money at all, which means I can't send you a card. I'm sorry!! I can't even buy my son a a card for Christmas!! I hope you n your family have a great holiday n make good memories!

Anyway I know we have spread some cheer in the past. I will never forget the Herb Larkins story. If we could get him some Christmas cards from around the country it would be great. If you can see your way clear to through a dollar or two in it even better but not necessary. My wife and I are going to make sure he gets a card and a gift card to send to his son. My goal is to give him the best gift of all. FAITH.

Thanks for reading this and helping if you can.

[bleedingpurple]

I take care of a gentleman who is a C2 quad from mva. He has so much support that it's sad to hear about your friend. I'm in

Maggot,
I live about one hour away. I know the place really well. I will make
A personal visit there. Do I need to let him know ahead of time. My
Wife and self enjoy Christmas helping at least one during the holiday
Season.

I'm a c3/4 myself and have been since June 28, 1986. It ain't easy, and I have incredible support from family and friends. Can't imagine being in the spot your buddy is, just terrible. I am in, and hope anyone who is able is.

Maggot, do you have paypal? I'd like to send you some money if you haven't sent him anything yet.

Will definitely send tomorrow. Was a part of Herb and know what that meant to Box and One.

Actually I don't believe it or not. I'd rather just him getting a card anyway. Between my high school couple message boards and my church I think he will really be overwhelmed

I will find out which of those restaurants he actually can get access to cuz he can get around a little bit in his chair, and then I will let you know what gift cards would work out good there. Again you guys are simply amazing
