Ms Grumpy ,I could never be mad at you especially when you are pushing to help our boys .I would be glad to accept anything ,a screw driver ,Tire Gauges ,neat key chains or anything at all .These boys are eager to learn and use anything they can get. They have the basic things they need to live but the home cant afford to buy them auto related items as they are housing and feeding and clothing about 26 boys at any given time .Chase is looking forward to coming to my place and changing his oil and just spending time with me and Im looking forward to it as well. He is such a sweet guy and I look forward to getting to know him more and maybe helping him to heal from all the shuffling around from all the foster homes he has lived in .He will not be losing me and Joan unless it is his wish to as we feel he deserves so much more. I told him several weeks ago that this was all new to me and that I expected nothing in return from him but I have changed my mind. The one thing that I am going to somehow tell him that I now want in return is for him to allow us to be a small part of his life going forward .I just want him to know we will always be here for him however we can be. I dont feel like we are doing as much for him as he is for us as he has introduced us to a whole family of boys that we may be able to help just a little bit and we are having fun doing it. Joan wants to have a 50th birthday party /car show for me next year at the boys ranch as a fundraiser for them but we dont really know how to even start to pull that off. I suggested instead of a registration fee just ask for a donation to the ranch and no gifts for me .We will have to see how that works out if we can pull it off at all.
