Finally!

Postby VickieP » Thu Apr 05, 2012 9:54 pm

Two years after submitting the invoice for Ronnie's wheelchair lift in the rv to the Tramatic Brain Injury/Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund, the reimbursment check came today!!! When we get back from the gtg in Stonewall the work will begin to backfill the driveway where the culverts have washed out & getting it paved. I think Birdie & Sharon can vouch for how much it is needed when pulling in/out of here. I cringe every time we do it with the rv. The trust fund is something set up in Louisiana for people injured before they were 21 & funded by DWI fines.

Goodie! I was really thinking they were going to pass you by. Sure am glad that they came through! You will certainly enjoy getting the driveway fixed where it will be a lot easier for you getting the 5er down to the bay. Be good to see you guys over her at the Pink Flamingo gathering. Be safe coming over.

Yay! I know things were tough for you when you didn't get the money after having the lift put in. I can deal with the driveway, hard to deal with not having a couple of my favorite peeps at the GTG's 'cause Louisiana was a butthead! LOL!

Finally certainly beats "never." So glad that is off your mind and you will be able to get out camping and to gtgs some.

YAY for you and Ronnie, Vickie!

I love that the funds come from DWI fines, too! Cna't think of a better way to spend those fines!

Have fun now that you are able to make some repairs and out and about soon!

Thanks everybody. We were shocked when it came, I teared up, Ronnie just kinda stared at it, thinking it was another one of those fake checks dealerships send you, wanting you to buy a vehicle. :roll: We said a prayer of thanks, believe me!
