OK y'all - Chris Macha has been a lodestone of information for us (probably each and everyone of you know something new about e9's that you'd never known if it hadn't been for a post by Chris). I'm posting this thread here, as I think this is probably the Forum page read by the most members. There is information regarding this topic in both the 'Off Topic' Forum and the 'Parts' Forum, and several members have already 'stepped up'.
Briefly, Chris's daughter Heidi was living in Paradise (CA) until a week or so ago. You all know that Paradise CA was decimated by the Camp Wildfire. Heidi lost all her belongings in the inferno. There are two 'Go Fund Me' accounts set up to bring financial aid to her as she starts to try to recover her life. Here is a quote from Chris's posting on 'Off Topic':
"There is a GoFundMe account in her name. Go to GoFundMe and search Heidi Macha, then select see search results, there are two accounts that pop up on top. GoFundMe requires a minimum 5% donation on top of any contribution to her but that is all. Add a note that you are a BMW friend. Thank you!"
Let's get some suggestions on how to raise a sizable figure in either of those fund. My intent is to ask my wife to eliminate one of the Christmas presents she was planning to buy for me and we will donate those $ to the fund. Knowing her, she'll probably suggest reciprocity, meaning we'd forgo two gifts with the $ $ going to the fund. Assuming that 250 members will read this note in the next 20 days, if all make a donation, maybe Heidi can believe in Santa again. I was fortunate enough to meet Chris in person at The 2017 Vintage in Asheville NC. He's even nicer in person than he is on this forum (I know you can't believe he could possibly be nicer!).
Let's ALL bring some Thanksgiving and Christmas Cheer to Heidi.
