I would like to thank everybody for sharing your time at help4hunters.com. And by signing up for the email subscription, I will award a lucky subscriber each month with a gift.  This is no offical raffle or anything big, just a thank you gift to a random subscriber.  You never can tell what you might get……

Also I am thinking about a little contest to see if anybody is reading the articles.  I may ask a question about the Group of the Month and see who gets it first or maybe even the tenth correct answer……ummm.  I need to think about how I can make this fun for everybody and learn something at the same time…..

More to come, stay tuned.

HHH, a great organization

I want to take a moment to thank the Hunters Helping Hunters organization for helping me out from when I had my accident late last year.
Mike Bell had been working with me. It took them awhile, but they came through with a donation. I’m not going to be working anymore, because of the accident. Buckee told me about them; and Ken made a post on here for me to contact them after I got hurt. They helped me out alot.
Folks, if you find yourself with extra charitable money, please think about donating to HHH. It is a caring organization, and can use some help to keep on helping folks in need.
Mike Bell told me tonight that he is in the process of making up a blog about many different charitable organizations. He should get it finished by weeks end.
Thanks for reading this.

Dear Hunters Helping Hunters,

My name is Leanna  and I am 15 years old.  On August 18, 2003 I passed out while cooking breakfast and suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns on my left arm and chest.  After a stay in the hospital and getting checked from head to toe I was released from the hospital.  My Dad is disabled and my Mom works in a factory.  They carried private insurance on me but the day I was released from the hospital, the hospital representative told my parents that my insurance was “the worst she had ever seen”.  It wasn’t going to pay hardly any of my bills and by the end of September my parent’s part of my bills was over $15,000.00.  As I said, my Dad is disabled and on a fixed income and my Mom’s employer was having lay-offs due to the economy.  She wasn’t laid off but her hours were cut.  Some months we had to pay out up to $800.00 just to keep from being turned over to collection agencies.  Mom even withdrew out what she had in her 401K to pay on my bills. Then one day Dad was reading Buckmasters and came across an article about Hunters Helping Hunters.  It told of how they help out the families of fellow hunters in their time of need.  He decided to write and request an application to see if we would qualify for any help.  Dad then started sending in the paperwork to verify my medical bills.  As time would pass, Mike Bell; would email him and let him know the progress of our application. Then one day, a man named Bob Grubbs called us and told us we had received approval for help and would call us back in a few days after he contacted the hospital.  The hospital told HHH if they would pay off our bill within 10 days they would cut it in half!! And within the 10 days HHH paid my bill in full!!  Words can’t express the joy we felt!  It was just an unbelievable act of kindness!!  When Mr. Grubbs called us with the news we were all standing in our front yard crying! EVEN MY DAD!!!  This was great timing because Mom’s employer was laying off half of the remaining employees and we were all wondering how we were going to pay this if she was laid off.  What a relief!  I am doing ok now, but I still am facing surgery for my burns on my chest.  We don’t have to worry about that because the Shiner’s will be taking care of that for me. I just want to say a big “THANK YOU” to everyone at Hunters Helping Hunters for all you have done for my family.  You have helped us in more ways than you will ever know.  We thank God for each and everyone of you.  It really means a lot to know that “strangers” care so much!!!

                                                                                      Thank you again,
                                                                                              Leanna
