Update on the man from my driveway.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about here's a link for you to catch up. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4337376


First of all I just want to say thank you to the DU members who encouraged me to get involved with this, it has truly changed me for the better in more ways than you will ever know. I also want to thank the DU'ers that offered financial help and support, even though it was thankfully not needed. You have no idea how awesome it is to set out to do something and know that people actually have your back, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

All is well and Frank and Margie will not lose their home. After talking to them both and reviewing their financials, my husband and I figured out how to make sure they could stay put. I do not want to go into great detail because of their privacy, and Frank is rightfully a very proud man. I do really want to say though, please support your local VFW. Please. I made three phone calls and Frank had what he needed to catch up. Please, please support your local VFW, please. Frank will be working part time answering the phone and scheduling jobs for our small business. (Is my hubby great, or what?) Between the new job, and the help from the VFW, Frank and Margie are going to be okay.

I sat Frank down beside me on the computer so he could read all of the kind things you guys had to say about him. He was a bit overwhelmed. He just kept saying, "Those strangers cared that much about me? They've never met me, I can't believe they cared." He was really choked up about it all, and extremely impressed that people he did not even know, wanted to make sure he could keep his home. He sincerely seemed shocked that people like you guys exist.

This has turned out to be a really good experience for me though, too. Frank is a very smart gentleman and there is so much that he can teach me about politics and the history of our country. He is an amazing guy that will add so much to our lives. We are already making plans to walk together on the weekends.

I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you to all of you. I have changed alot since I started out on this site, and it has all been for the good. I can not remember the last time I felt this good about anything. I have no idea what forces brought me to this board, or Frank to my driveway, but I am so thankful for all of it.

On edit- I was out of batteries for my digital camera, but I have them now. When Frank comes to work tomorrow I will snap a pic for you and post it somewhere on this thread. ( I'm tech challenged, but will do my best.)
