This site is an attempt by a single Father to help his son make a dream come true. In 2005 things were starting to look up for us. Like many other single Mom's and Dad's we worked hard to stretch each dollar but we were getting by. Then in January 2006 I was told that my job had been eliminated and that the company would be outsourcing the work overseas. In the nightmarish months that followed I depleted my savings and maxed out the credit cards in order to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads. For almost a year I worked any odd job I could find while the mountain of debt grew. Finally, almost 10 months later I was lucky enough to have three job offers at the same time. Since then I have been working at putting our lives back together. The good news is we are starting to make a dent in the debt that accumulated. The unfortunate down side is by the time the essentials are paid there is very little left over. While I was out of work, I was lucky enough to be able to spend a lot of quality time with my seven year old son. One of our favorite activities is to watch Supercross together. He really loves to watch Travis Pastrana in free style and Ricky Carmichael was his favorite racer. We talk about how he would like to get into the sport. We have been to some of the amature races and he enjoys watching the other kids his age ride. He will often say to me "Some day, I think I would like to try that Dad". It is almost enough to break a father's heart as I know he is only saying that and putting his dreams off because he doesn't want me to feel bad or to know how much it would really mean to him. I do set aside anything I can but I fear it is nowhere near enough. If you would like to help make a little boys dream a reality your support would be greatly appreciated. In any event thank you for taking the time to visit. To contact me directly please
