    Hope you guys don't mind me putting up this raffle info here. as a lot of you know my wife is going thru a cancer illness right now and things are getting tight with me having to be closed a lot to take her to the doctors. I lose out on walk in customers and don't get a chance to answer phones for call in stuff. ive been way too many saws behind so I have slacked off on taking work. funny thing is I need the money more now than ever and don't have the needed time to take all the work on. randy started this raffle thread on the other forums so I thought id do it here. this is the link to the raffle if you guys are interested in it and the prizes seem to be off the charts.

    I seen that tonight on AS.

    I am praying for you and your Wife.

    I am going to bed now, but I personally will contribute tomorrow.

    The prizes are nice, but knowing that the money is going to help someone that needs it and that we know (I never met you personally, but I can tell by our dealings that you are an honest man ).

    Thoughts and prayers from Ohio bro and my money is coming tomorrow.

    God bless Terry

    I hadn't seen the raffle on AS yet but I am definitely in. I read the thread where your wife was diagnosed with cancer and I wish there was something else we could do for your family as I know it's got to be tough. You have been on my prayer let and will continue to be there. So sorry for everything you are going through.

    the financial blessings from folks is amazing to say the least. it lets me worry a lot less about how the bills are getting paid while im closed almost half a day every day. walk in customers just seem to not care. all we here is ,ive came by several times and your not here...blah blah blah. the big purple cancer ribbon on the door and not esaying we are gone to radiation therapy don't seem to matter.

    This is much like some recent situations we have been in... I do no know your religious views but we have been kept a float by our faith and good friends. I truly hope all will be well on your end and wish you the best of luck! Your family is and will remain in our prayers!

    Hang in there! People have no idea what you are going through until it hits home for them, sadly as you said, some just don't care:(… I just went through over a year of it, mine was caught very early and I/we beat it, I had esophageal cancer.
    Just know, God is with you and all the gang here are too I'm sure:):cool:

    Mr. Landrum, I'm proud to have all of you guys here. And I say with an open and honest heart, your wife and you will most certainly be in my prayers. Cancer is a miserable disease, I hope you can look to Christ with an open mind and heart and trust in Him through these times.

    I have to say I'm both humbled and highly impressed with how all of you new guys are....both with each other and with our prior members. I truly consider you guys extended family. It's amazing what life throws at us, and how we seem to gang up together to pull each other through those crisis........

    I'll check out the raffle and throw my name in the hat........if you need someone to talk to we're always here for ya, brother. Give that wife of yours a big hug from all of us at the Firewood Hoarder's Club. Tell her we're all pulling for her!!

    Just a question, but do you want people to put there "Forum name" in the 1st name box?

    Or does the system select and send the person an email? Just wondering.

    God bless your wife and your family in this time of need.

    Oh and just got the first set of 13 tickets :) Many more to come. Whether I win or not is beside the point. I would hope that we would all do for one another, how we would want it done to us :thumbs: Show your love people. You never know. One day it may be you.
