    Hi my name is Jennie Mould and I am the Wales & West Midlands Regional Manager for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. We grant the wishes of children aged 3-18 who have a life-threatening illness.

    We have been trying for many weeks now to arrange for a Ferrari to collect a young man from his home in Anglesey to Pwllheli where he will receive his wish. The young man in question is mad about Ferrari's and we know that he wouldn't be at all impressed if we did the usual pick up with a limousine, therefore, to enhance his 'Wish Day' experience we have been trying for some weeks to find someone who can help us but to no avail.

    On Friday it was suggested to us that we should post a thread on this forum in the hope that one of you may be able to help us. We have a small budget, enough to pay for our limousine, and I am aware that if anyone is able to help us it will cost, however, we don't have a massive amount of money to spend but will be able to give you the budget we originally have for transport.

    If you can help us, or you know of someone who can please could you email me as soon as possible on [email protected] or alternatively you can contact me on 0121 707 9191.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this posting.

    Jennie,

    It's better to post this in the UK section where more UK based owners will view it.

    You could also post it in the Ferrrai section in the pistonheads forums as well if you don't get a response here. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/

    I'd love to help but unfortunatly I'm based in London.

    Good luck

    If I was in that area I'd do it like a shot. In fact if Jennie knows of anyone who has a similar wish in the South East, I'd be more than happy to help. A very good cause.

    one of the mods should just move this to UK for her. she'll get much better traction there, and she clearly has WAY more useful work to do than figure out this site's forum hierarchy!

    Translation = she is looking for someone to give this a child a ride from point a to b....She is saying that they normally give the kids a ride in a limo, from point a to b....and that doing that costs them money.... so she would be willing to pay an Fchat member to give this kid a ride from a to b, but she can't pay much because they don't budget much for it.

    I think most Fchatters would do this for free, I couldn't imagine charging someone for the priviledge of making their wish come true.

    I think she should immediately accept Lamour's offer to do it for $200. What he obviously doesn't realize is that he will have to get himself and car over to Merry Olde England and back, all on 200 bucks. Ha.
