    Justin is the Nephew of one of my closest friends who is also my neighbour and co-worker. Everyone of his family that I have met has been the kindest and most friendly people around. I have the highest respect for the family.

    I have posted the explanation from Justin's aunt Sarah.

    Justin Cole is a 6th grader at Ovid-Elsie Middle School. He is a kind, considerate, thoughtful, caring young man. He is an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend to so many. Justin is a great student and an exceptional athlete. He loves his family and friends. He loves his sports. He loves his pets. He loves Sparty!!! He has a great sense of humor and a smile that simply warms your heart. Justin was just diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and has started chemotherapy treatments. Does he have a long, hard road ahead of him? Yes. But, can we all help? Yes. We can! And, we will because we are Team JC! Justin's family is fortunate to have good health insurance, but we all know that will only go so far. Over the next several months, there will be endless trips to & from the hospital which means endless gas & food expenses. And, even with good health insurance, his treatment copays, deductibles and prescriptions will prove to be costly. I am asking you to give a little now, what you can afford, to help ease the financial burden that we all know will surely come. What a difference we can all make together! Justin's family is an extension of my own, and I sure do love him as if he were my own son.
    I thank you, in advance, for your generosity, your love, and your support for a special boy and his family.

    Here is another explanation from the Owosso Independent Strong Community Support for Justin Cole - Independent Newspaper Group

    As many of you know my family lost our teenage cousin to brain tumours last year as well as having my own battles so it is important to me to help those in need facing such a hard road.

    The CS400 that I have up for this donation raffle is a modified saw I have completely cut the muffler open and gutted it, pulled the carb caps and tuned it up I added a new bar and chain although I did some test cuts after the muffler was gutted with the new bar and chain on. It runs very very well and is in very good shape. It may be the nicest light saw I have owned... It would do somebody well!

    You can send any donation amount to Pay Peter Allen using PayPal.Me so that I can keep track and send a check directly to Justin's family again any amount! It is entirely up to you how much and it will be kept a secret I will not tell anybody!! If you want to be put in the drawing for the saw please include your user name from the site with your donation on paypal. If it is not on paypal please send me a pm otherwise I will not know who to enter for the drawing.

    The drawing will consist of names of those who donate in a hat and who ever is drawn is the winner of the saw. I will be asking Justin's uncle to pull the name out of the hat to keep it out of my hands. The drawing date will be November 18th. The money will be donated as a gift from the members of FHC!



    Thank you all.
    Pete

    What's the amount per ticket? like $1 is a ticket or $5 is one entry/ticket?

    Or is it just donate and everyone gets an entry and it's all equal no matter what you give?

    I only ask as this is usually explained and some will ask. It's not like I can afford to give $150 if it's one entry per dollar or anything , just clarifying.

    It's completely up to you how much you give.... If you donate your name goes on the hat. :thumbs: No matter the amount.

    I know not everyone can afford much and others may want to donate more.

    Sounds good pete. I assumed that's what you meant. But I hate for some new guy to roll in here and give $100 and get upset his chance is equal to win as the guy who gave $2. I hope that would not happen but you never know. I don't think anyone we have here now would do that, we have some of the best folks on the net here.

    This doesn't work ( paypal.me/PalletPete)
    It says Please enter a valid email or mobile number (i.e. [email protected] or 10 digit number only).

    He will need Oldman there unless you want him to post your real name if you win the drawing.
