I know this isn't a warm fuzzy story but the Oldgas community has always seemed to step up when people are in need. I'm sharing this story with you guys because this family is close to ours. Ben and Carrie have 2 small children, are self employed, and have no insurance. Ben recently had to undergo surgery because of cancer and that has financially wiped them out. I'm not asking for miracles, maybe some prayers if you have a minute. Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I've pasted a link to their story if you've got a second to meet this amazing family. If you feel compelled to donate to them, please follow the link and it will take you to a donation spot. I appreciate all of you taking the time to read this and send up some prayers.

Wish I could have done more.. I just sponsored a big bowling tournament that is next weekend called bowling to beat breast cancer, so donation funds are a little tight... Glad I could help out a little bit anyway.

Don't have any extra $$$, but I do have a couple of these.



I'd like to auction one off and have all the proceeds go to the Ben Sayer family. As soon as the high bidder gets the funds to the family I'll ship the topper.
Auction goes until 1:00 am Pacific Time October 16.

That's a pretty amazing act of kindness! I know they will appreciate it very much. I'll start it at $50. I'm really speechless...thank you for your generosity. Ben and Carrie are a super couple and their kids are really great too. Thank you so much!

Thank you guys so much for your kindness. Just saying thank you isn't nearly enough to show my gratitude for your support. I appreciate all of you very much as do Ben and Carrie. I will make sure they know the Oldgas crew is showing them much love!

Guys, I seriously can't thank you all enough for your kindness. Carrie and Ben are at a loss for words in understanding how complete strangers can be so compassionate to their family. Thank you all very much, we all appreciate you

Guys, I always thought that deep down this group was a caring and compassionate group of people, now I know that to be true! Your kindness toward our friends is amazing. We can't thank you enough. I talked to Carrie last night and she really was at a loss for what to say about a group of Oldgasser's that she's never met, being willing to help her family. On behalf of Carrie, Ben, and the kids, I thank you from the depths of my soul for your kindness and generosity.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,
The Callison Family

We have all been through moments in our lives where we have been impressed by the good nature of strangers. I am a firm believer that God did not want us to love God; but rather, to love each other. The service of mankind is the greatest worship of God.

Prayers and donation sent to Warriorgas.

Thanks for all of the support guys, it is very appreciated. Here is the latest update on Ben...

Ben met with Dr. Goh today. Cancer treatment must begin immediately. It will cost additional thousands. We don't know the exact numbers yet.

We found out today Ben has carcinoma in situ (CIS). It is a high risk, early bladder cancer. If not treated, the cancer is very likely to spread into the deeper layers of his bladder.

Thank you for your continued love and support. You are helping us through with grace and strength.

With love and gratitude,
Carrie, Ben, Logan and Paige

I'm going to have to apologize to the OldGas members.... I can't find the Clack license plate toppers. We moved almost a year and a half ago and they are not where I thought they were, so I'd like to start the auction over with a Continental Oil Company sign if it's ok with you guys. It's 8"X10" porcelain and you can see the 2 nicks in it.

The auction will end at 11:55pm Pacific Time Friday Oct 18. When the money is posted by the highest bidder on the Sayer families website I'll send the sign.



After the auction is over for the Continental Reward Sign I will start one more auction for this Bendix sign.



A want to apologize again for not being able to go through with the first auction..... I just took the pictures of these 2 signs, so I do know where they are.
Hopefully these 2 signs will bring more help for the Sayer family than the topper would have.
Thanks for your understanding, bob

Here is a picture of the back of the sign.



Sometimes when you get a sign you have a story behind it..... whoever ends up with this one..... whenever they look at it can can feel really good about themselves for the help they gave a family in need.

The auction ends tonight at 11:55 PST.

I'll be gone this weekend, but will get the sign in the mail on Monday.

Thanks for helping the Sayer family,
bob
