    Ok people. As many of you may or may not already know, Fong's mother is extremely ill, and may not make it through the night. I ask that you keep him and his family in your prayers.
    But for those of you that have read the thread in OffTopic regarding this may know, Fong will be sporting the bill for the funeral fees and burial costs. This brings about a tough situation for him as it means he may have to sell his car among other things.
    So I and some of the other MNSubaru guys decided we should help one of our own. As a community, the Subaru 'family' is always very tight and we are all pretty much like family (while rather dysfunctional at times). And when family needs help, you help them.

    We are looking to raise money to help Fong offset the costs of burial and funeral fees by taking donations. It isn't often that this happens, but we all felt that it was in order. You can give whatever you can afford, there is no set amount required. Rest assured, all money will go directly to Fong in the form of bank checks.

    Important Note:

    No matter what method you use to donate, all I ask is that you send me an email at [email protected] and inform me of your first and last name, your mailing address, and the amount that you have donated. Rest assured, NOBODY aside from me, Justin and Fong will see this list. This list will be given to Fong as he has requested it, and will also be in case something goes awry legally (you never know these days) and we have to have records. Thanks again.


    We offer you one of two options:

    1) Paypal
    You can make donations to Paypal through [email protected]. Be sure to indicate in the description that you are donating to Fong.

    2) Cash or Check
    You can also make donations this way. I will be at Firestone on Friday to take collections, and Justin can pick up the rest on Saturday. If you have checks, make them payable to Fong Vang. All cash collected will be transferred to my bank account and converted to a check so we can avoid dumping a bunch of fives, ones and 10s on the guy. And we all know, cash burns the pockets quickly, but a check in teh bank tends to last a while. ;)

    I know it seems a bit rushed, but obviously, time is a factor here as he will be paying for these things VERY soon. Give what you can to help a brother in need.

    Sincerely,

    Jason R. Lutz

    I hope all turns out well, fong. I will gladly give to the cause.


    please see the other post no reason for this to be in general and have two threads
