I just wanted to post a big thank you to all who pitched in to help our friend and fellow HUMMER owner Ron46 who was greatly affected by "superstorm" Sandy. My personal efforts to get him some basic supplies quickly turned into a great showing of how H4O differs from other offroad forums. The number of members willing to toss in a few bucks to help him out was amazing! We were able to get him the parts he needed to get his generator hooked up to his house directly and I am happy to report this allowed him to finally turn his heat back on as of yesterday-right as the snow was begining to fall from an early season nor'easter. I also was able to present to him and and his family a $500 dollar money order from H4O to get whatever items they may need to help themselves and maybe a few neighbors get through the continuing effects from the storm. I am so proud that this group of "internet friends" most of whom have never even met in person were willing to help him out in such a great way. It has been a tough time for all who were affected and the clean up efforts are likley to go on for quite some time, but we can all feel good that we personally helped a friend who was in need. Ron still doesnt have access to the internet at this point but has expressed to me his many thanks to everyone here for all the help and well wishes from his HUMMER family. I also want to add that he and his family never asked us for this help, they are probably too proud to do so-but he is a great guy and I couldnt think of anyone who deserves it more. Thanks again to H4O for making this happen! Sincerly ,Rich

Rich,
Thank you for getting all the generator/electrical parts they needed and for coordinating our Ron46 H4O relief efforts. I would think that getting the generator fired up was at the top of the list of post-Sandy priorities - especially now with that noreaster going through the area.

My hats off to you Rich for suggesting this and for reaching out to us, as we were more than happy to help in our small way - AND thank you to all the forum members who also helped. There are some great and kind human beings on this forum! :cheers:

My heart felt thanks to Rich for taking this on even after he suffered minor damage as well - yet another reason I'm proud to part of this forum. Great job brutha!

Hope things are at least slowly returning to normal for Ron, family and all our other NE members. Thanks Rich for spearheading this.

Hey guys, I finally have access to the internet and the forum! I want to thank all you guys for helping me out and thanks for all your concern. I want to especially thank Rich for getting this together, and getting me the parts needed to get my generator to hook directly into the house. This forum is the best and has the best forum members around, and it shows in all the support and help I have recieved. :cheers: I greatly appreciate all the help and support you guys gave me. We got power back on Sunday, and I finally got internet and cable back. It has been a long two weeks to say the least. Everybody is ok, just property and truck damage. My truck got hit by a tree and messed up the right side of my truck, and we got about 4 ft of water in our basement, and kerosine, and a couple ft on the first floor. Our driveway had 4ft of water; I had to drive my truck up my neighbors lawn to keep it from getting filled with water. Its going to be a long recover for everybody and for all those who were effected by the storm, and I hope everyone else is ok that went thru the storm. Ill post some pics and video from the storm up when I get a chance. Thanks again to everybody who has helped me out, I greatly appreciate it. Best hummer forum out there and best forum period!:cheers:
