I honestly don't know where to even begin, so I will just let it all get out there. Bear with me whether it be a long or a short read please. I guess I'll start with the thank you before the short story. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you for me, my wife Jessica and my son Maddox for everything you guys have done, sent, wishes, thoughts, prayers and love. I have never thought I would have such really good friends that could help me out and do something so selfless for me and my family. I've been having it rough for a few months and struggling behind the scenes making it work the best way I know how. I've been doing electrical work for roughly 8 years and well I've spent all of those years building up my payscale and learning what I can. Well lately apparently with the bp crisis and just plain greed, all of the employers down here just want to get their's and don't really care about their workers and leave them to fend for themselves. I started out 8 years ago making 10 dollars an hour, and worked all the way up to 22.50 an hour, only to be dropped down to 13.00 an hour and expected to do the same work of a 20.00 dollar an hour man. The owners exact words were if I didn't like the pay, I can leave and he will just hire guys for that cost with absolutely no experience.... I about died when he said that to me, because here I thought people wanted to make money and have trustworthy guys on their payroll so they can make money and pay good wages....Apparently that's not the case and well the workforce down here is just in the crapper. I'm doing the best I can with what I got and I swear after selling tools, watches, shoes, clothes....none of that even remotely compares to the gesture you guys have done for me and my family....
I honestly could not find the words last night to post up in a thread I was so taken back. Again I just want to say thank you for all your blessings, because even though this is a truck enthusiast forum, apparently it's also a good place for friends who help others in their time of need.
Thank you guys. It means alot. I cannot even begin to explain how much it meant/means.
