A MISSION NEED....GOT CAR?

The following note is from my son who is a missionary in Guadalajara.  I know Gerardo and Carola.  They are sacrificial in all they do.  It would be just like God to find that a reader of this blog had the ideal car for this family.

If you have questions you can email Tim at tkqrush@aol.com.

Would you spread this word...and see what God does with it?

Hey, this is an odd question... One of our coworkers, I guess our only current coworker family, Gerardo and Carola, are in need of a new vehicle. They are a super sweet/cool family that keeps losing support little by little. And as they never travel to the states, they are a bit hampered in raising new funds. That's a huge understatement. They've needed a new vehicle for awhile now as their mini van is old and broken down. Then this last weekend, on their way to a retreat where they help families dealing with children's diabetes they were hit by a drunk driver. Though most in the family are now wearing neck braces, I think they are going to be fine. ...except for the van. (There car was actually struck by the car that was struck by the drunk/drugged driver. Does that make sense?)


I don't expect for any of you to get back to me on this, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if each of you knew someone that would love to give an old van, or other largish type vehicle away. I'd love to find them a suburban as they are constantly giving many people rides, while loaded down with portable tables and chairs. The catch is that even the new vehicle has to be kind of old. I think for them to take it across the boarder, it has to be a 2000 or 2001 or older car. Thus, it might be hard to find a car that age, that someone is willing to donate, that could be trusted driving across Mexico. If someone wants to give a newer vehicle, we could check on the legality of getting it across the border.

Again, just throwing this out there to see what pops up.


Well, thanks for the help.
Tim
