Help!

[ryster]

We are doing a fund raising for our friend and fabricator Robert Pagglia. He has over 15 years experience in welding and has been in the scene for longer.

Marcelo, Roberts son, was born prematurely. He had Cerebral Palsy, had a shunt, and had a lot of other complications. He was living in pain. Doctors said that he would be lucky if he goes past 12 years old.

Dec 27, 2009, he had difficulty of breathing. Robert took him to the hospital, they had no significant findings and sent them home.

Dec 30, 2009, he had severe difficulty of breathing. Robert had to give him cpr, but unfortunately he did not make it. He passed away at the early age of 12. Autopsy reported cause of death to be pneumonia.

Robert is a really chill guy and has been going to meets and events whenever he can. He has been contributing to the community and will be continuing in doing so. He is our fabricator and we have just finalized designs for cages, Formula D spec or regular, and front and rear bash bars, knuckles, and more. Unfortunately he is in a financial bind.

To raise funds we are doing a special:

Formula D spec cages - $1750
Formula D spec cage - with single door bars - $1500
Front and back bash bars - $300
Front bash bar - $250

We are planning to do a fund raising bbq/vigil in behalf of Marcelo at the new shop.

Located at 7819 Sepulveda Blvd. Van Nuys, CA 91406

Details will be finalized soon.

We are also planning a fund raising event in his behalf on January 30 at the balcony. It will be gymkhana and drift event. Plans will be finalized soon and will be posted on the events section. Proceeds after all the expenses concurred during the event will go straight to Robert's family.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Feel free to contact me or Carlo Jacinto "lechu" for donations.

All the help issued will be documented as follows:

Name - Contribution (with specific amount).

It would be some sort of a receipt and proof that the donations reached Roberts family.

Thanks in Advance. Peace!

Sincerely,

Ryan F.
