Well Friends -
The world has not ended yet and Uncle Lonny is still delivering wheelchairs. We may just be racing toward oblivion, undoubtedly - "Lost In The Ozone Again"!
Hey - I’m feeling good, getting ready to get back “On The Road Again” - delivering wheelchairs with my friends…
March Madness - team is assembled, tickets purchased and dang, wouldn’t ya know it - we get this distribution all calibrated and scheduled and whoop, there it is - another 200 solicitudes (applications) arrive this morning - yup, from Lima. Well - nothing to do for it, but schedule another adventure in South America (I know, I can’t believe it either - surprise partners). You think - naw, can’t be done - then you start paging through these photos of disabled kids who are broke, branded and stranded. Awww - OK - and you're back at it! Stay tuned, for those of you who missed this project - got another one on the horizon.
Truck to Mexico - Big shout out to Adult/Teen Challenge and Modesto Gospel Mission for continued volunteerism (Faithful service - these guys are the poster boys). Having these guys show up to assist with muscling wheelchairs unto a fifty three foot trailer - does my old heart (and back) good.
That truck is headed to Chiapas - This adventure in May will target cities in three separate states in southern Mexico (covering some real estate here, Louise). Yucatan, Tabasco and Chiapas - “Now I’ve Never Been, But I’d Sure Like To Go” - Old Mexico (like, in the belly of the beast - Old Mexico). Team is assembled - flights arranged - all the ingredients for success. (wanna go - contact me “real quick” and we will try to fit you in - last minute).
Let’s get the job done, pilgrim - time and money (suggest prayer might be beneficial) - many thanks to many friends who partner with Hope Haven West - across the spectrum!
Waging Heavy Peace,
Uncle Lonny
Save the Date - May 9th - The State Theater, Modesto - California Zephyr (last of the “Legends Series).
Not too late to get your logo on this fine poster (many thanks to all our sponsors who continue to fuel the incredible work that volunteers from Hope Haven West are engaged in).
Tickets for California Zephyr are now available at the box office and at thestate.org
Not a night to miss - big X on that calendar today - May 9th.
Additional projects and travel/adventure opportunities with Hope Haven West are in the works - keep an eye for opportunities (we post as soon as plans crystalize and dates are secure).
Rockin’ in the free world,
Uncle Lonny
