Hello friends!
We all have at least one thing in common. Our friend, Kelley Van Dirstein. There are many things that we all love about Kelley; her generous spirit, her loyalty, and her perseverance through all of life’s circumstances. Despite her physical limitations, Kelley has given so much of her time and energy to each of us and to the communities she loves never asking for anything in return.
We are reaching out to you because our friend has a need. In the middle of October, Kelley’s vehicle broke down. This vehicle had over 450,000 kms on it and so it is not surprising that it decided it was time for it to retire by blowing a head gasket. Unfortunately, this vehicle is not repairable.
What Kelley needs is a vehicle. But it’s not as simple as that. Kelley’s vehicle has to be specific to her. It must be the right height for her to get in and out of, have hand controls installed, and be an AWD or 4WD for her to be able to get up the hill to her house in the winter. While it would be great to have a vehicle donated, those specifics may be a tall order.
Now, we are sure you can already appreciate and understand that Kelley is the last person to ask for anything from anyone and so we are asking on her behalf. We are asking you to consider giving a cash donation towards the purchase of a vehicle for Kelley. Our hope is to raise approximately $10-15,000. We believe this could cover the cost of a good used vehicle that would fit that description as well as install the hand controls or be a sizeable downpayment for her to secure a vehicle through a lease.
We are proud to live in this community because we step up when our neighbours are in need. Please consider helping out this wonderful lady. You can contact either of us, Betty or Lisa, to donate or you can use this online platform to help. We would appreciate it if we could give her some good news soon.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Betty Wiebe and Lisa Robideau
