Something amazing happened to me today.

Eric4Nitrous · 08-20-2002, 08:26 PM

If you guys have been watching the national news you may have heard about a little girl here in virginia who's missing. Her mom and dad were killed mysteriously. Well today i'm coming home from work and stop at a convenience store and i see the truck that's responsible for finding missing kids and people. Well one of the guys who works for them was inside getting some snack food. Well i went over to him and started asking him if he had any luck finding the little girl and he proceeded to tell me that it's so frustrating trying to look for something that he can't seem to find. He was very tired looking and very wore out. Well he proceeded to tell me also that the only way they could search for the little girl is if they had extra people to help them. And they couldn't afford to pay other people because it wasn't mandated by the state or something. Well he also said that they do fundraisers to raise enough money to buy equipment to help find the missing people. So i gave him 30 dollars and told him that was my contribution. If i had more i would have gave him more. The man looked me in the eye and said..sir i can't take this..i said no, you can take it and you will. He said you don't know how much this means to us and the organization. I told him to find that little girl for me and for everybody else. He started to cry right there in the store. Well as i was on my way home i started to just get tears in my eyes thinking about that little girl and how scared she must be or even if she's dead?? You guys please say a prayer for this little girl so that she be found alive and well. This touched me soo much i just had to share. I usually don't cry very often. this touched me in a way i've never been touched.

Being from PA, our local news has had coverage of the story EVERY night so far. It is such a heart breaking story to think what that little girl has been through, and what she continues to go through. Eric, you are a good man. Although $30 may not seem like alot, it helps them afford equiptment and such. It brought you to tears it impacted you so much... That says alot.

And my prayers will go out to that little girl. I hope to god that she is alright...

Shelby428cj · 08-20-2002, 08:37 PM

Ahhh that is so sad...I will be prayin for her Eric you did a very nice thing by giving that money to that guy. Almost the same thing happen to my area about year and a half ago someone shot this 16 year old girl's family and she had a friend staying the night and the two girls came up missing and never were found.

joe4speed · 08-20-2002, 08:40 PM

You're a good man, Eric... good for you, people like you make the difference.

Eric4Nitrous · 08-20-2002, 08:41 PM

Yeah that little girl has been in my mind alot lately. I'm gonna try to see if i can get some of the guys at my local track to take up a donation and give it to those guys. They work hard to find missing people. Who knows..it could be YOUR kid or family member and you need their help.

srv1 · 08-20-2002, 09:12 PM

Eric. you should post a pic of the little girl. maybe someone knows something. i just heard about it today. some may have not heard this yet. the more people that know, the more it may help.

Shelby428cj · 08-20-2002, 09:27 PM

Eric4Nitrous · 08-20-2002, 09:43 PM

Yeah that's the little girl. Guys please help with this. If your a mother or a father then you know how you would feel if something happened to your kids. I'm not asking for a handout. Don't do it because i want you to do it. Do it because you feel led too. That's all i ask. You don't know how sad i am about all this.

Absolutely dude! That is exactly how I look at things. There are soooo many worthy causes that one can't give to all, but find one that touches you and give what you can. It really could be you. You are a great person for doing such a thing, but you don't need someone to tell you that. I can image the frustration this guy may have.. maybe I can't. Your giving like you did probably made his will twice as strong, added hope to his cause(others really do care!). I'm glad we share the same board and I had the fortune to read your post..

1969Mach1 · 08-20-2002, 10:28 PM

Man that is amazing of you, although the money won't make the biggest difference but you have given that man the hope to never give up, the hope to keep on trying to find this poor girl. I will keep her always in my head hoping that they bring her back safely.

Shelby428cj · 08-20-2002, 10:49 PM

I have just posted the above information in all the clubs I know of and in all the other mustang forums. The response has been overwhelming in the last few minutes, people wanting to help. I told them they could help by sending the link of the little girls picture to everyone on their email list and they are going to! So that is good! If you guys can please do the same.

Thanks,
Karen

you are da man, great job bro cya. marty.

, another sad day for america

Mustangbelle306 · 08-21-2002, 12:17 PM

I feel so helpless and angry when I see this ****. It makes me want to ******* kill all the child molesters and murderers in this world. Whether it be pure evil or a "tainted childhood" that makes it impossible for them to understand/not CARE that their victims are someone's MOTHER or CHILDREN, I just want to make all of them SUFFER for what they have done/will do to innocent people

On the other hand, it also warms my heart to see GOOD PEOPLE on this earth come together and tell those criminals **** YOU, we are going to band together and try and find our babies that you took away

At a younger age, I was more of a liberal minded person...but as I grew older and realized that liberalized courts made it possible for repeat offenders to return to society and harm others (its scary to see the stats of how released repeat offenders commit MORE crime after serving prison time) I became more strict in my expectations. The punishment for just grabbing some kid or killing their parents should be more extreme and ENFORCEABLE, so maybe these sick assholes will think twice about ruining people's lives...

929PhoenixSquid · 08-21-2002, 12:41 PM

People will continue these actions/crimes as long as they continue to see others getting the old "slap on the wrist."

Solution: Put me in a room with these criminals for about 25 minutes with nothin but my bare fists......I promise these events will cease to occur.

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 08-21-2002, 02:59 PM

Hey Eric that was a really awesome thing to do.

On the other end of the Country

, David Westerfield was found guilty of the kidnapping and murder of Danielle Van Damm and possesion of child pornography. The sentencing is next week. This case has been going for at least 4 months i believe.

Later,
Nick
