Dougles Friend hasn't added a story.
Hello everyone,
My name is Doug Friend, and over the years I’ve befriended many people in the past but few have a heart as big as my friend Zach Patch. Those that know him know that is the truth. He has overcome some huge struggles in his life time but he has a big task coming up, raising his first child.
Zach has a minivan that had originally belonged to his mother that she gave to him with the stipulation that it was going to be used to help her get back and forth from appointments as she now resides at a nursing home. One night while Zach was working someone had stolen his van, and at that point was unaware that his mother had cancelled the insurance policy without relaying it to Zach, perfect timing. At this point I honestly did not think the van would ever reappear but a month or more ago we received word that the van was located and was given an officers contact information. After weeks of frustrations the secretary for this office stated the van might be at Spillane’s. After weeks of getting the run around we located the vehicle. However the bill had increased every day that we couldn’t locate the vehicle, and we still don’t know if the vehicle runs. The tow yard was able to reason with Zach for a retrieval cost of $750, which is wonderful but I just don’t think it is right for him to have to pay to get his stolen van back so I would like to gather the funds for him, especially since he has a child on the way. He is going to hate me for doing this so try to keep it as much of a secret as possible.
Every dollar counts I appreciate all of you.
