Wayne and Vicky have lots of great friends!  There are pending transactions but if my math is correct we've raised $3,677 so far.  That goes along with holding a Guzzi rally daily in Wayne's room and all the prayers and love we can send to Vicky. 

Thank you all

I saw them both yesterday. Wayne's looking much better, getting around in a wheel chair. No change with Vicky yet, but everybody's hoping...

I know first hand how a perfect day becomes a nightmare. I don't know Wayne or Vicky but would be happy to donate something to help them heal. I don't have a pay pal account and don't want one. Any other way to donate?

Heard about this over on Griso Ghetto, chipped in yesterday.  I guess it's a good sign that, as somebody mentioned, she is responding to some stimuli - she apparently can hear what's going around her - we're sure hoping for the best for her.

I don't know Wayne and Vicky, but it certainly sounds like they'll be needing some help. I think it's great that you've set this up and I'll be supporting.

It's sort of lame I know, but most mornings and every evening I check this thread for news of the Orwigs. 

That's all I know to do right now.

If any of you closer to the situation can think of anything else to help them out please tell us.

Yep you can do it that way and I'll get it to the Ally Bank account we have for Wayne.  Just PM me for my address.

Ally uses something called "Popmoney" and I've got that set up too if you use that.  But I'm like Russ and Tony and just wish someone would post some good news about Vicky

Paypal wanted $4.50 fee (i.e. 4.5%) to use my BoA debit card.  Is there a bank account number available where I can transfer the donation to?  PM me if you want it to be discreet.

Thanks Steve, Loong, and all who have contributed.   It stinks that when you print a list of all of the contributions from the Paypal account you can't add all of the comments that were sent along with them.  Some of them were very special so when I get some time (and some alcohol) I'll type them in so that Wayne can read them.  Wayne won't mind my misspellings! 


Oh, we just crossed over $5k raised! 


Thanks again everyone who contributed and a special thanks to all who have been there the past two weeks.

Yes I will PM you the account and routing number to the account I've got set up at Ally.  It's still in my name only right now but I'm going to take the form to Wayne on Monday to have him added. 

For those who have sent paper checks that's the same bank account that the checks will be deposited to assuming I can use their "E Check" deposit thingie where you take a picture with your smartphone.  Modern technology...

I will be happy to provide the same to others if you just PM me.
