Hello everyone,
First, I do appologize if my writing is a bit befuddling. It's kind of hard to write sometimes.
. My Name is Dean Prescott. I live in Bend Oregon, USA. I work with music in many area's. I am single living in a studio apartment with my music & guitar.
I am a YOUNG 56 and love life and people. I am kind of nosey and I love to hear what your life is like and about. :) I will tell you my story including the reason why I am asking for your help.
On Nov. 11th 2009, I had a major stroke. After brain surgery, a month in the hospital and 9 months of rehabilitation. I went to the Hospital and took my driving test. I got my license back! I was so happy. It took another 2 months to learn how to drive again with my Step- Dad’s help. So, after a year I was driving. It took another year or so to get my confidence up to where I felt pretty comfortable. In 2012, I bought my little 2001 Honda Civic. Please note that I have bad problems with my feet and I’ve been seeing Doctors since my stroke on a regular basis to keep my numbers down. I even had both legs veins redone (It’s a long story). They are doing better but I still have issues. So, I struggle. I try NOT to let it show. It’s my thing and I don’t want to be constantly complaining, but sometimes I do, just ask my close friends.
So here’s what happened to my car. It was STOLEN! On the evening of April 19th I came home after a LONG day. (7:45) I laid my things down (My guitar, books & bag) which were hard to carry. I immediately laid down (I still get VERY tired if I over do it, from my stroke). After nearly 3 hrs. I awoke to use the bathroom. I always glance outside (Out of habit I suppose) It was dark but I could see from my upstairs window, My CAR WAS GONE! It took a few seconds to realize what I wasn’t seeing. I was going to go down stairs to see if I was going crazy and parked it somewhere or something. I went to grab my keys to lock up after myself as I ALWAYS do. NO KEYS anywhere. My keys I realized where left hanging in my APARTMENT door. Someone grabbed my keys ran downstairs, started my car and took off. (WITH my Crutches & handicapped plague, is that LOW or what?) So, I called the Police. Withing 5 minutes of seeing my car was gone. An officer came and got my info. That’s the last I’ve heard from the Police.
I have been fortunate enough to have a really super cool Boss at my volunteer job. He has loaned me his car for nearly 3 weeks now! I have used his car for... Doctor Appointments, Stores including prescriptions, food etc. I have tried many, many avenues in the last 2 weeks. (i.e. Checking into private investigators and using everything I can think of on the internet and by word of mouth. Driving around looking for my stolen car for at least 2 hr’s a day.
Here’s why I need your financial help... I am on a very limited budget. I can’t walk very far with my foot being the way it is. I have limitations in life.
I am going constantly to the Drs. Office. We are working on my foot. The hole is large but with persistance I will be better. I must drive to get prescriptions, food and other things in my area. I really don’t want to ask for help but I must, there’s no other alternative. I can only say thank you for what ever you can give. I am asking for money as soon as possible because my boss needs his car back very soon. I will put it to good use, I promise to you. If I can get a good car it will mean so much.
Here's a description of my car... (Just in case you happen to see it)
2001 Honda Civic (Dark Maroon, many little scratches)
Lic# 175 FVS
Missing Honda emblem on front hood
Many tiny bumps from hail storm (hard to see)
(If it's still there) I had Beige screen in the back window, because trucks etc. would blind me from behind.
Drivers seat had a stain right in the middle
My CRUTCHES were inside!
AND
My Handicap parking thing was inside.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Dean Prescott
