CJVWS Pres needs our help
« on: February 07, 2016, 07:14:16 pm »
From Bucky at Central Jersey VW Society regarding Casey Masterson (their President) and his family:

Some bad news was just shared with me and I wanted to pass it along to you all as I'm certain it will have the same effect on you all as it did me.  Last night the Masterson's had a bad house fire that destroyed their home and took the lives of several of their family pets.  Fortunately Casey, Denise, Rylan, and Harper were not home and weren't hurt.  For any of you who know the Mastersons you know how much their pets mean to each of them and in a situation like this words really cannot describe how I'm sure they are feeling.  Coupled with the loss of most of their belongings, there is a long road ahead to rebuilding and getting back to their lives.

I've received several calls from club members asking how they can make this time easier for Casey and his Family.  Casey told me that neighbors and the Red Cross were already setting them up with clothes and some personal items and that they've secured a good place to stay until they get everything situated. Insurance should cover most of the physical damages but I'm sure it will take time to resolve.  In the meantime, if any of you want to assist with supplies, things for his daughters, money, or words of encouragement it would go a long way I'm sure. Casey wouldn't ask for anything and I know he will get through this with or without our help, but if we can make this situation even a little less painful for such a kindhearted person in our fold it is worth the attention.

If anyone wants to send money and would feel more comfortable sending it to me via PayPal rather than giving it to Casey directly my account is mikebuckholtz@gmail.com

Casey's cell is 973-454-2024.  I'm trying to get the address of where they are staying and will send it out soon.

Thanks,

-Bucky

This is so sad. Such a great family and awesome pets. I can't imagine the pain they feel.

  I know we're strapped for funds, but it would be a nice gesture to give something as a club.
I'll donate.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family.  Our homes can be replaced but family (fur babies) can not.

I don't think a $100 from the club would kill us even though we are tight for money. We should do this.

The Board voted to do just that. We would like to add to that. Anyone who wishes to make additional donations please paypal to treasurer@sjvwc.net use friend/family gift so we dont pay fees and note that it is for the Mastersons. If you dont do paypal you can donate at the meeting. We will send the donations on the Thursday after the March 7th Meeting
