Support Erik Bates' Selfless Mission
Donation protected
Erik Bates volunteered his own time, effort, sweat, and blood along with Tyler Prillaman to come to the immediate aid of those in the Carolinas affected by the storms this season that have caused massive loss of life and limb
in an area that has markedly suffered since these natural phenomena occurred.
The first trip - Erik and Tyler made utilized a newly acquired box truck from the non-profit, Tech For Troops. The second essential trip could not utilize the same box truck; thus, Mr. Bates volunteered to use his personal Chevy Blazer. During the trip, the vehicle sustained significant damage (through no fault of Mr. Bates), leaving the automatic transmission with just first and third gear. Mr. Bates has a wife and children - his altruism should not cause him to suffer or be without - especially when he is bettering so many lives.
Our goal with this fundraiser is to accumulate $3,500 to invest in a more reliable automobile for Erik to continue his work with the Veteran community and providing aid to those in need.
