To everyone who knows Gene Carlson, they know that Gene would go out of his way to help anyone at any time. Gene has driven hundreds of miles to help a stranded friend and has donated hundreds of hours into fixing friend's vehicles. In addition, Gene was there if a friend's budget would not allow them to fix their only vehicle. At times Gene knew these people; at other times, it may just be a friend of a friend. Regardless, Gene was always there to help out.

Now Gene and the love of his life for over thirty-five years, Kelly, need our help.

Gene has been diagnosed with Stage Four brain cancer and has undergone two surgeries. Unfortunately, due to his condition, he cannot work, and he and his have fallen upon harsh financial times.

Gene has been a mechanic for over thirty years, and now he needs our help more than some wealthy politician asking for campaign money or some lawyer looking for defense money for a trial against them.

Gene is a member of our community in dire straights, asking for assistance from his friends and neighbors during this difficult time.

Please help Gene and Kelly out with whatever you possibly can.

Thank you.
