Amazing Response in a time of need ! well done Guys !!!!

Postby Leprachaun » Tue Sep 30, 2008 5:50 pm

Hi Folks on behalf of myself and Andre Hamman I would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who assisted Andre with your donations of cash , flying time and general goodwill at the recent MISASA hosted Africa Cup flyaway.
Rom Mc Fie (mustangman ) , the owner of the Numbi hotel who donated a Rand for every rand collected , well done guys, we really appreciate you time and effort to assit a fellow Microlighter in time of need.
Coming back to Andre , he has started his long way to recovery after a bout of bad infection , but through the grace of GOD and all our prayers he has managed to heal a badly damaged body.
The doctors removed calf muscles, grafted them onto the right leg , added some skin from the hip , and the first of a series of operations have successfully worked.
The left knee will need a replacement in the near future, but Andres attitude and his wonderful wife who stood by him all the way has made him a strong person and a man who can face the challenges the world will throw at him .
Im sure as soon as he is more mobile he would want to personally thank all those who assisted him.
I will move his Raptor trike to Jenja as soon as possible to have the wing cover repaired and the have it flight tested by the able Jenya and who knows anyone who wants a Raptor is invited to make Andre a reasonable offer .
Im sure that he will get a market related price as the plane is in good order and will be delivered with an Ap and all the paerwork.
Once again I must mention that you guys with the help of the Numbi Hotel managed to collect just about seven Thousand rand ,
My suggestion would be to repair the plane , pay for the repairs and the balance will be kept in trust for further assistance of any person injured in a microlight accident.
Who knows we may even have a national event to collect funds????
Thanks on behalf of Andre , his wife and myself Alex
