FUNDRAISER #1

A friend of mine seems to have taken what I have {in one way or another} dropped in her lap and run with it.

I know she wanted to help in any way she could. This is what she came up with for a small fundraiser.

I was thrilled when she emailed me her idea, and loved what she had come up with.


So in order to raise money "anyway we can".....


Here is our first fundraiser! Thank you so much Beth for all your hard work!
Rob and I thank you. I know that you will be blessed for your good works.

Check this out if you are interested in helping. Do you Buy Coffee or tea at your local grocery? Would you rather it mean something when you make that purchase.?

If you buy your Coffee and teas through Harvest House, 50% of the profit will go towards the Van Fund that we so desperately need to raise money for.

I couldn't think of a better way to spend my  money on for  my Coffee and Tea! Remember, Half of what you spend goes to that VAN.

March Update: Fundraiser

For so many people we take for granted the ACT of DRIVING

When you want to run to the store, 

when you get mad, 

when you need to go out for a gallon of milk for your wife, 

when you just want to go DRIVE, 

we jump in our cars, or trucks. 

Rob CAN'T.

Yes, He does take the taxi to and from therapy.

But, what you don't understand is that if we don't 

pay a fee for the taxi service or the like,

he doesn't get out at All. 

He, my friends, is stuck at home.

To Watch TV, maybe go outside and watch the kids play with their sidewalk chalk

or ride their bikes.

If you know Rob, you know he was an active person. Outgoing, Active. Always, going, doing, playing with the kids.

Yes, he played computer games,

built computers on the side,

but to be confined to the inside on a daily basis for the last 7 1/2 months?

I can't imagine. Because the things he enjoyed indoors, he can't do now.
Watching television is all he can do now.

I can only empathize with him.

Be there with him, praying that somehow we can change the situation.

We already know workers compensation will not pay for a van, but only for the modifications to a van no older than 5 years. (2008)

Rob and I got a couple of quotes from a company that deals with BraunAbility

These vans with the BraunAbility modifications are complete.

It means you leave the lot with the modifications already done.

Many times people that purchase a van they want modified have to wait upwards of 6 months 

to receive their vehicle.  That's just how long it takes for modifications to be made I guess.

We could bypass the wait altogether.

The quotes we were given:

Workers compensation will pay $24,000 for modifications

That leaves $30,000 that we have to pay for the van itself.

$30,000?!

For some it doesn't seem like a big deal.

In reality we just don't have that kind of money in our back pockets.

Rob and I are asking that you would pray with us for the

finances to come together.

This brings us to thoughts of a fundraiser.

We will be having a fundraiser in the future. We haven't determined a date yet.

We have narrowed it down to a food fundraiser here in San Angelo, TX.

So here is my request:
 If you would like to help. If you know people that could help.

If you would like to volunteer your time, money or energy.

Please contact me at my email: Holspowell@gmail.com

Robert/Hollie Powell
We are truly focused on Roberts recuperation , and helping him progress in his daily life.

Physically, Emotionally, Mentally

Not all pictures are smiles and laughter. Like the one above. One moment can say so much.

I wanted to share this picture

because it such an expression of what is going on in Roberts life right NOW.

Psalm 37:4

Take delight in the Lord,

    and he will give you the desires of your heart.
