Just last Thursday (March 12th), my aunt had a heart attack. (if nobody believes me I can post an obituary from our paper to prove it)

My cousin turned 17 about 3 weeks ago. Shortly later (March 11th, 2009) my aunt passed out on the floor of her apartment and was rushed to the hospital. She was let out early that morning. I was driving to a basketball game 3 hours away for my school and at 11:30 that night when I got back, I received a call saying my aunt was back in the hospital. This was the day after she passed out and was released. So I rush to the hospital to find out that she passed away for an unknown reason. I wont go into detail, but my cousin has been very upset. She took it well considering what has happened, but its her mom and shes only a junior in high school.

One of the last big favors my aunt asked me to do (since she knew my passion was cars) was find my cousin a car. They were okay with a BMW since they knew I work on them a lot and own two myself.

Today was the funeral and everything has been greatly emotionally unstable for my family. My cousin is now living with us and will be permanently. We are trying to get her a car now (preferably an E30, but any BMW that is good that she likes will be the one she gets within reason).

So in conclusion, what I'm doing is trying to get some donations together for her so that we can get her a car. I'm not looking for all of the money to come just from the forums, but I figured people from here may understand and every little bit helps even if you consider it to be almost nothing. Everything is appreciated. It may be a little while, but we're trying to get her one soon so I figured I'd try to get some donations going now because we're starting this week to look for cars.

This will be on bimmerforums, E30Tech, and r3v. My paypal is bmwlover0725@gmail.com and if you are doing something for it, please leave a note on the paypal payment so that I can see what your user name is on here. If you would like a mailing address instead, I can do that too, but send me a PM for it.

Thank you for your time and God Bless. As soon as it all comes together, I will post a thank you thread with pictures of her with the car. You have my honest word that this will be for her. I promise.

Thanks,
Anthony Talerico and Family.

PS: My signature photo was taken about 5 hours before she passed away.

the frame may be or may not be tweaked. if its not, fix the damage and pretty it up. or part it and get something nicer. pm me if you are interested

Shitty to hear dude. I think you'll have a better chance with parts donation when you actually get a car. I know I have some stuff kicking around that I'd be willing to ship if it was needed.

[bmwlover0725]

I appreciate everything guys. thanks. SamE30e, you're right about the parts donation. I didn't think about that but I'm probably better off doing so.

bataangpinoy - PMed on both things you said. thanks

well it took me long enough. we don't have that many pictures of her because she hated having them taken, but heres one of her and mini mouse at disney a couple years ago. she loved mini and it was probably one of the happiest moments I had with her because she had always talked about going to disney to meet her.
