Our beloved fellow Freeper, Jeff, who is recovering from cancer surgery at MD Anderson in Texas...needs a motor home to be able to get back to his home in Idaho. Does anyone have one lying around? :-) This request is not posted by his family..just my own idea that a generous Freeper might be able to step up. Thanks everyone and please continue to pray for our patriotic friend.
Will put the word out. Get well Jeff Head!
BTTT !
Hope someone can loan one.
I hope all goes well for Jeff, but pardon the question : Why does he need a motorhome ?
bump to the top
will post to Texas page
“This request is not posted by his family..just my own idea that a generous Freeper might be able to step up.”
While your thought is very kind, you need to check with the family first. No doubt they already have their plan of attack in place.
Maybe better on him to get an air ambulance back to his home in ID. Quicker, easier on all involved and maybe cheaper. A volunteer or extended family or friend can drive his truck back there for him.

Maybe a fund raiser for the 5 to 10k it would cost just to transport with maybe just a flight nurse and his wife, crew ?!?!?
Wish I had the funds it would be a done deal charter.
Is there a way that we could donate thru pay pal or something. I would be glad to give a few bucks. I bet many of us could put in $10 and they could rent a motor home.
I personally don’t use pay pal but etc is Ok.....;o)
I know...Was just trying to help. They wouldn’t have to accept the offer..but you never know who is out there and willing.
Air would seem to be the way to go. What with all the work Jeff has done, do you think maybe the military might be persuaded to step in with something?
“why does he need a motor home”?
His condition is such that he has to lie down and this is the best way to minimize pain, I think.
Ah, I understand now. I thought that perhaps a larger, comfy SUV would be better.
RV’s are certainly nicer while parked... but under movement ? Swaying and moving around.. I would toss my cookies.
Angel Flight is non-profit (free) and the pilots donate their time.
Good ideas here! Air would seem the way to go. The drive would be so long, even if he does get the right kind of transport by land. I can’t imagine how tiring it would be for him.
There was a fund raiser before...
We could always start another.
But boy would it be nice to have a connection to someone who has a private plane. Air ambulance would be more costly, wouldn’t it? A private plane with a medical person on board?
I think that when you need something, you have to put it out to the Universe..God(and hopefully our generous Freepers) will provide.
I didn’t consult the family first cuz I figured they would say that this is too much to ask! But Jeff did say that they would be looking to rent a motor home, in a recent email.
Yep ....Houston is a Hub and being there at MD Anderson that question would be best asked THERE IMO.......
Good suggestion........ now we’re close to affordable aka FREE !
Look at Roamer 1’s suggestion above !
