<div>Hi my name is Chris Crabtree.
</div>
<div>I have been a musician through most of my life and have been on the west coast, in Vancouver for the past 11 years.
</div>
<div>A few years ago, I reconnected with a beautiful woman who I went to high school with, and fell deeply in love with each other. The only thing is, she is still in Ottawa and I am in Vancouver.
</div>
<div>Sheri Coyle and I are now engaged and want to be together everyday.
</div>
<div>We haven't seen each other since January 2nd, 2025. We greatly miss each other and want to start planning our lives together.
</div>
<div>The cost of living here in Vancouver is so inhibitive to do much of anything. So after us talking it over, I voluntarily said that I will to return to Ottawa, to be with the woman that I love, asap.
</div>
<div>I have a miniRV on hold for , that will bring myself and all of my screenprinting and heat pressing equipment that I have invested in.
</div>
<div>But have been unable to get any extra funding with a second job due to being on WorksafeBC after being hit by a forklift in early August.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These funds will be going to 6 new winter tires, getting all electric working right for a fall/early winter trip across the country, sealing windows and doors, a few minor repairs, and a full tune-up to make sure it will make the trip, (and beyond), getting the vehicle registered, safetied, and insured. Anything remaining is helping towards the gasoline for the trip from Vancouver to Ottawa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once there, the RV will be used for Sheri and I to have mobile production of hats/shirts, etc., with the heat press and screenprinting. As well as for helping smaller bands do their first tours, by giving them a place to sleep, as well as the vehicle with room for gear, a washroom, and a kitchenette.
</div>
<div>I am hoping to leave in 3 to 4 weeks,  which is feasible, if I can get the funding together.
</div>
<div>I want to be with my fiancee. She really needs me to be there with her.
</div>
<div>This is of the highest priority for me. Sheri is too important to me, to have her waiting any longer than is necessary.
</div>
<div>I hope to be with my fiancee on Halloween this year. If not, then hopefully for my 51st birthday on November 11.
</div>
<div>I hope that my story of getting back to Sheri is something that speaks positively to everyone. I never thought that I would fall in love, let alone with a woman so far away, but never has happened.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank-you for reading my tale and for whatever help that you can offer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Chris
