Default Revised, Need help getting Wheelchair

Hi again

Sam has done a great job trying to line up a shipper to get my wheelchairs and standup frame. However, the shipper will not take un-crated stuff. Sam had it all arranged and the shipper there, but it just wasn't going to work.

So, what I need is a pickup truck or something that can pull a U-Haul 4 foot or 5 foot trailer. A pickup by itself would not be enough, so a trailer is needed.

The stuff is paid for and ready to go. It needs some good secure packing since the stuff is worth so much money. And heavy as well.

I still wish I could go myself but I can not travel that far.

The stuff is Lewisburg West Virgina I will supply exact address later.

So any help???

Thanks again Sam for all your great help.

Can we get any S2Ki member to help from the area where the stuff is at?

Keith, post up where it's coming from and I'll try and find a local community organizer to see if he can help, or he can solicit some help.

I guess the best thing would be to have someone down there pack it up in a 5x8 U-Haul and meet someone half way or close to it. That would be best, but I don't know the group there at all.

Feel free to link this to there group. Whatever group is Lewisburg W.V.

Thanks
Keith

Google maps says 651mi 1 way and 11 hours. That's about $525 in gas and a day's time.

I've got the truck and will make the time.

I've got an open trailer that might do in a pinch, but can probably get an enclosed one (may cause scheduling constraint). This would force us to load it when we get there (obviously.) If someone can secure a uhaul on that end and have it loaded, it makes things easier, but should by no means be a requirement to make this happen.

Can we get some folks to pitch in for gas?

In the event you get some giving souls from WV to come half way, we can meet in Dayton, OH. This would make the U-haul option a requirement to ease transfer, etc.

Keith, I'll PM you my phone number so you can contact me as necessary to make arrangements.
