Please help the wife and myself!

[wunderdub]

Hey guys, so a brief intro on myself: 22 years old, married to my wife Alecia, drive a mk4 R32, Marine Corps.

My wife has a genetic disease which puts her dependent on myself and a wheelchair at all times. We don't have a van to get around so rather i take her chair apart and throw it in the hatch. She lays down in the front seat with a constant view of either a roof rack, clouds, stars, or just sky.

So the contest has ended and they are in review of the semi-finalists. And with thanks to everyone who voted and shared, we've made it to the semi-finals, along with about 170 others. More updates to come!

Voting has closed but the story remains accessible! Feel free to read and pass on, although voting is closed, feel free to share! We're on Facebook too if anyone's interested, PM.




UPDATE: We did not win. See post on page 7.



20120620 UPDATE: We've moved to indiegogo, seems as if there's a lot of success raising money on that site.

Please, check the site out, if you'd like to donate, do so, if you'd rather not, if you could share the link on Facebook, Twitter, or whatever you have, that's just as much of help.

20120916 UPDATE: We've reached our goal! If you're still interested in contributing, bless you. If not, no worries. But we thank everyone on here that's contributed in either way! Another update to come when we make purchasing progress.

20121029 UPDATE: So we've received our funds from our fundraiser and tucked it all away in savings. Again, thank you so much to everyone who contributed!

My next goal is to get my wife on the Ellen Show. If you're bored, let us try and make you laugh by clicking http://www.facebook.com/GetAleciaToTheEllenShow

20130424 UPDATE:

The van is in our possession!

Best of luck to you but far as I know this sort of thing is against forum rules.

[wunderdub]

Really? I'll have to read those again

Edit: I reread rules, I'm not soliciting any business, nor is there any monetary gain for myself or any company, nor am I asking anyone to donate nor is any company asking for donations. I'll leave it up to the mods to decide this one. That website specifically says at least 3 vans will be DONATED to 3 individuals.

However if they do pull this, this ruins the idea of the fellow VAG community of helping each other out. But whatevskis, good looking out and a heads up

Far as I know the mods don't look too kindly to "vote for me" threads around here since it would wind up being flooded with such topics if they allowed it. I don't think it's specifically mentioned in the rules but some searching should show a consistency towards locking.

I haven't reported it since I don't think it's doing any harm, just giving a heads up.

I just voted and will continue voting. Good luck to you and your wife.

By the way, speaking of wheelchairs, I just learned about this new type of wheelchair yesterday while cruising YouTube.... check it out!

Are you really unable to differentiate between a loving husband asking for assistance and a punk kid asking for new wheels for his stancemobile?
