Morning bump!

nomodsjk · 08-31-2014, 11:02 AM

What about a raffle guys??? I have some OEM parts I could sell and donate the money for the cause. Would anyone else be willing to do this??? Luciano maybe you could start another thread for that purpose. I have stock suspension cats hood sways springs exhaust ect. I'd be willing to work something out but if I did that I would prefer that they went to a premium member and one who has a high mileage car and somebody who won't resell just like the freebies thread. Any ideas????

As that is a great idea

a raffle may get too complicated down the line.
I however talking with the guys that host a small car show in my neighbourhood and Friday, Sept 5th is for the import guys. Im hoping they will agree on accepting donations on entry(as they do for all the shows) nd ALL money donated will be going to Lukas' family. It may only be a few $100, but everything helps

nomodsjk · 08-31-2014, 11:15 AM

OK I guess you're right. I was just trying to brainstorm. I'll post a thread myself with the parts I'm willing to part with and the reason why and criteria ect. I'll make the attempt and we'll see what happens

Tadpole · 08-31-2014, 10:02 PM

Donated! God speed to your full recovery!

brutusvk · 09-01-2014, 01:06 AM

13 years for my wife. We were also fortunate. Prayers for all concerned.

Everyone that has ever gotten anything free through Zakimak's Freebie thread should donate. Even $1 dollar helps.

ZeroZeta · 09-02-2014, 09:32 PM

Kudos to everyone for your generosity. Looks like they are only $350 away from the goal now!

Hey friends...family.

Feeling a little better so I am taking the opportunity to say a big thank to all of you. Just to want to clarify, the money raise through Paul's effort goes to research and not my family. It is nonetheless a great cause and your support will make a difference. It has been very hard not just day by day but sometimes hours by hours. Please give me a little time to put together what's happening. Essentially, I have liver cancer and according to the doctors it is terminal. months not years as they said about 3 months ago. I am currently in palliative care in Ottawa hospital. There's so much you think you have time for but it has been so aggressive that I haven't had much time for. I am trying to sell the car (although I don't want to as I am also clinging to hope that this will pass). But I also realize that I must prepare so I've been trying to sell some parts and what not to support my wonderful wife and 2 great boys. DEpointfive0 has been kind enough to assist me selling them by me shipping whatever I can to him. I don't really know when that can be done as I will ask my friends to arrange. I will provide more details later. Please bare with me and I will give more details later. Sometimes even texting is hard.

Thank my friends. This is a wonderful forum and as DE aptly put it...its family. For now, please live, enjoy every moment and love those and accept the love from those that means the world to you

Lukas

cooltoy · 09-03-2014, 10:09 AM

When I read palliative care, I knew it couldn't be good (speaking from experience).

But never the less please make sure you keep on fighting. Even an extra day with your family is worth everything.

Luciano13 · 09-03-2014, 07:26 PM

I feel I need to make this reply due to the misleading I have told many forum members...

I was strictly quoting all texts made from Lukas' text directly to me, without altering nor even spell checking.

I was under the impression that all money donated was going directly to Lukas' family.

I am a good person and wanted to help Lukas as much as I was able to do. Posting his requests, I felt I needed to do, to help an honest man.

I pray that you Lukas come out on top of this situation life has passed onto your life!

I too recently have lost my young father to cancer and I pray you beat this with all the strength you have in every inch of your body!!

I apologize to all forum members that I truly did not know the donated money was not going to Lukas' family.

At the same time I bless every single one that has prayed and donated to Lukas' cause, as it is STILL one of the toughest things any person, and family can ever go through fighting cancer.

Lukas I am there for you 100%!!! U give me a call once you're up for a coffee in Ottawa!!! I promise I will gather all the members willing to make the drive!

Because I have stated false information about your donations, I will withdrawal myself from posting more information, so I do not mislead people.

God bless you Lukas and everyone else that has helped even with simple prayers

DEpointfive0 · 09-03-2014, 07:47 PM

Hey Luciano, no need to apologize
I think we all needed the "Karma mod" anyways. And I'll say it... I don't think all of us were in pain donating $50-100 US dollars, (AKA 50 Canadian cents, LOL)

I spoke to Lukas last night, to be honest, he didn't SOUND to bad, said he felt shitty and I HATE to say it... But I feel he's come to terms... But he is still fighting god bless him, and he's not going to win or lose without a bang.

I mentioned his picture and asked how old he was and he said 44, and I said something along the lines of 'fuckin hell, you don't look 44!' And he said 'I'm Asian, we don't age, it's all the MSG we eat' and we both had a laugh, and its great to know that he's still got his sense of humor even though he was dealt a shit hand.

And when he told me the money donated goes to the cause, I think I only replied fuck... But within half a second, he replied 'don't worry, it's for a good cause, and I can't believe this many people have donated to a cause and someone they don't know' and this is where I said, the 370Z members are largely like family, aside from a few bad apples, my home is open to all. I have more annoying family members than we do on the forum! LOL

And sorry Lukas if I have said or revealed too much, but I've told Lukas that I'm going to give him a grand for one of his oil coolers, and that I'm more than happy to sell his stuff to raise as much money as possible.
