This has to fricking stop IMMEDIATELY. It's now time for the church to start giving back to him.

In for $50, inspiring at how hard your father works!
And thanks for the years of baseball streams! Especially the earlier years!

Wait...do we know the same person? Shook hands?

Did I make a bad dad joke to make your kid laugh?

I agree on both counts.

I addressed that on a previous page. This was something over the years he would do that caused strife in our family. Thankfully he has accepted that he can longer do that. I promise you this has been addressed. And yes, one of the churches he helped in the beginning should absolutely share his story. I am going to reach out to them as well.

Whoever downvoted me for offering to fix his AC for the cost of parts can eat a dick. Be men and show yourselves for downvoting it. Pricks.

I get the gesture but throwing good money after bad is like putting a bandaid on a blown off leg.


Let's just find his dad something safe that won't need to be fixed

Well if he can’t raise enough money, then what?

You gotta have options which is what I provided.

But then I get downvoted by assholes.

At least the OP knows what I’m saying.

Less than 12 hours in and we are almost a quarter of the way there!

Come on baws and Bawettes.

Just wanted to add for others who may be still skeptical, that I corroborated your story with someone else who knows your dad well. He said:

“This is 100% accurate. Hayward’s van failed just before I went to out of town - as a matter of fact, he had pulled up to my office when his van would no longer go into reverse. I kid you not. I can vouch for the truth of the van issue and I do know that he has at least 2 disabled children that he provides for.”

this seems like a matter of some urgency. Are there escalations of any sort that can be made? Somebody who knows somebody type thing.

14 grand is a lot of money to raise in a short time

Carry on now Hayward's son,
Find a van when we are done,
Put the OT to the test,
Then he'll drive some more...

I'd definitely chip in to help your pop. I'm sure many others would too.
