Hi all,

Since several folks have asked about sending something via Paypal, Tom
has added info on sending a donation for Carson's ticket via Paypal in
the message below.

Hi all,


I was reminded this morning that Paypal is also an option for anyone
who would like to donate that way (thanks, Neil!).


My email address registered with Paypal is volkstom@xxxxxxx


Thanks again, everyone!


Have a good weekend,
Tom Janiszewski

  Hello everyone,

  A little time has passed since Dawn's passing and everyone is still
struggling to adapt and move forward while holding our memories of Dawn
  close. It is heart-warming to watch the out-pouring of sympathy and
  emotional assistance from family, friends and fellow hobby-ists for
  Brian, Carson and both families who have been so deeply affected.
  All of us were touched in one way or another by Dawn, and her memory
  will not pass from our daily thoughts for a long, long while, if ever!

  The Holcombs are doing what they can to move forward, one step at a
  time. It was great to hear from Brian that Dawn's ashes have been
  returned home. Another step forward...

  A couple of us are about to try to raise a few donations from any
  concerned friends toward a small goal for Brian and Carson to look
  forward to this coming Summer.  A little backstory is probably
  necessary here.  Brian had long ago planned to join myself and Tom as
  well as other friends to attend to the upcoming Hessisch-Oldendorf
  Vintage VW meet and then the European Bug-In VW meets over in Germany
  this coming June.  Brian already bought his non-refundable roundtrip
  ticket with us back in December.  Then several weeks ago the Holcomb
  family suddenly suffered the unexpected loss of wife and mother Dawn
  and the aftermath that follows an event like this in one's life.

  Distraught, and not wanting to leave Carson with family for that
  long, Brian was initially about to abandon his plan to attend his
  vacation when Tom Janiszewski and I hatched a plan to try to keep him
  on his goal to attend, to have something to still look forward to
  this Summer.  Tom and I both started things off by throwing in
  several hundred dollars as a start to a fund to buy Brian's son
  Carson a roundtrip ticket so the two of them can stay together and
  have a 12 day "break from things" while over in Europe enjoying the
  VW shows. We hope that it will be a goal that the two of them can
  share together, and Tom and I will be along on the trip to help...

  So....   if anyone out there in VW land might want to contribute ANY
  amount, large or small to the help fund a ticket for Carson, it would
  be most appreciated by all of us!  They could make a check out to Tom
  Janiszewski (who will be buying the ticket), and write in the "memo"
  area that it is "for Carsons ticket".  No one should feel pressured,
  please only contribute if you care to help them out with a little
  getaway trip together.  One way or another we WILL make this happen
  for them, but we could sure use a little "VW help" right now.

  Checks should be sent payable to: Tom Janiszewski, 417 Dacy Street,
Woodstock, IL 60098 .  Tom will use the funds to add to our own
  donations and will purchase the ticket for Carson that we've alredy
  held down with a flight reservation.  Brian is currently working on
  obtaining a U.S. Passport for Carson.  Thanks again to everyone out
  there for their concerns and continuing prayers for the Holcomb
  family during this turbulent time.

  Bill Bowman & Tom Janiszewski
