First thing... Thank You Ted for setting this message up here on your website.

Members,

This is not a scam,,, it is real,, and yes it brings back Planes, Trains, and Automobile movie with John Candy.

Well John Candy in this event is Patrick Kane aka pktruckdriver. and it is real time.

///

His career is a semi tractor driver over the road delivering goods to store warehouses so the public can go to the store and buy the product off the shelf.

His life long dream was to own his own Semi. That happened in late October 2014... He was able to save enough money to make a down payment on a Used Semi tractor ( truck).....beautiful looking rig... then make weekly payments for a year with option to purchase after one year.

Then ... right from day one ..less then 1000 miles away from the Sales garage the truck seal started leaking fluid. .... Local garage repaired it but PK had to pay the first $500 out of his pocket per the contract.

Then, days later, the truck just quit.... needed to be towed to a City to get a major part that is need on Semi's replaced.... days of "down time" = money lost.

After that incident, he was rolling along Westward,, because I had messaged him about the Snow storm in Buffalo NY and the Road condition there.

Then this ----- 11/21/2014 HELP ME PLEASE, I AM IN PAIN AND SHIVERING

That message is frightening in itself. He was able to get to and Emergency Room in Tucson Az. @ University of Arizona Hospital - South Campus. Formerly Kino Community Hospital.

Doctors there told him if he had tried to get home to Dayton Beach area in Florida,, that he most likely would not of made it because of the deteriorating condition he was in. Do to HIPPA LAWS I cannot tell you what his actual health problem is ( I do not know anyway).. BUT IT IS SERIOUS.

As of today 11/26/2014, Patrick has most likely lost his Semi due to non weekly payment,,, lost his money that he put down on it and the deductible amount he had to pay for repairs.. ( the first $ 500 each time ).

They want to do surgery .. but have decided to fight it with antibiotics and sedation.

He has no insurance.

However, He is Very Thankful that the Doctors and Nurses have saved his Life.

This Patrick Kane Donation was set up by Dave Schwartz to try and collect money that will be sent to Patrick so he has a way to get home once released from his hospital stay.

Updates will be posted on the thread at PaceAdvantage.com in the Forum "General racing discusion" Hospitalized far from Home.



Please keep Patrick in your Prayers


I have never done this before on a forum or social media... but I strongly feel this is the Right thing to do for a fellow horse player and internet friend ..especially one that has a "Heart of Gold"


Thank You very much for viewing this and helping in any small way your heart feels like helping......

God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving 2014.
