I did however think that if what I had achived was passed on it might inspire others and therefore help even more disabled people.
Since then the responce has been overwelming with financial suport coming from a number of people so that a saw can be instaled into the disabled facility here in Orange.
I would like to thank through the forum
Joez for offering $50
Wheelnround for offering to supply blades
The Bleeder for offering $50
Unfortunately I am unable to thank publicly the person who has donated a Carb a tec 18 inch scroll saw to the value of $579. The person has requested to stay anonymos but I have been in phone contact and given my personal thanks.
I think thanks should also go to the forum. Without it all this could not have happened. I have already had a coment that the networking of the forum could be used to greater benefit than just people chating.
There has to be a bit of water under the bridge before all this can come together but as soon as I can get in touch with all concerned including the CEO of the workshop who I'm having difficlty getting in touch with we will get it all under way.
I called into the workshop this morning and one of the people in last weeks group greated me warmly and asked if I will be there again tomorrow. Because of a personal situation a I can't be there. She was realy diaponted and obviously was looking forward to another day.
Please accept my thanks and gratude all the people who have been so generouse.
( I will be out of contact for the next few days If there is something I need to follow up I will do so ASAP)
