UPDATE
1. Parts for the broken down car
are supposed to arrive on Monday.
2. They were able to stay at the same motel,
but were moved to another room, at a reduced rate.
3. If the quote that she received
(and does it ever end up being the quoted price?)
is what she is actually charged, we’ve raised enough
money for the repairs, the lodging that she is in now,
and food for the next couple of days.
4. If any of you know of another place that has a vacancy for tomorrow,
and possibly Monday night, that isn’t too pricey, I would love to have
that info – please leave in a comment.
5. PayPal donations would still be appreciated, as the cost
of repairs will probably be higher than the quote.
Thank you all for your prayers/good wishes, for this family.
A fellow blogger is stuck in Branson.
She went for an overnight getaway,
with her little girls.
They went so that they could visit few museums,
and then she was going to review
them on her blog.
Her van has broken down,
and she doesn’t
have the money to pay to get it fixed.
She is four hours from home,
and is totally stressed out,
over this, and in a panic.
A group of us, have gotten together online,
to donate cash to try to get her van fixed,
so that she and her family can get HOME.
If ANY of my readers, are in the Branson area,
and can suggest a good, honest, mechanic
who might be able to help…
we would all be most grateful.
It’s almost 11:00 AM CST as I post this.
She has to check out of the hotel at 1:00 PM CST.
So we are in a time crunch!
If she can’t get her van fixed over the weekend
She will need a place to stay for 2 or 3 more nights.
If you know of a safe inexpensive hotel
that we can get for her – that information
would be of great help too.
If you aren’t in the Branson area,
and want to help…
ANY $ donation will go towards
helping the family.
Just use my PayPal button
on right sidebar.
Donate under Personal and then Gift.
This way she will get the full amount.
(Leave message saying…
For Branson Blogger in Distress.)
I will immediately transfer each donation,
to her account, so than she can transfer
it to her bank.
Has anyone ever done a kindness for you…
this is a great time to Pay it Forward!
Every dollar helps.
Thanks

I will be donating. The problem with Paypal is that it sometimes takes a few business days before the money is available in the bank account. Has she arranged her hotel room yet?
Oh dear! I will repost this a few places to see if we can get her help!
PS… your blog is hard to read because the being blocked by image shack!

I'm glad money was raised to help her out. Mechanics can be so expensive when needed.
I've stumbled your post. Mine is at http://daybydayinourworld.com/2011/08/silly-songs-from-veggie-tales/
I hope she gets everything she needs, and gets home safely! I wish I could help, but my family's in a financial crunch too right now. 🙁 I'm thankful for people like you who help and do what you can when someone else is in need!
