Nathan Abbott was on a cross country trip to show that electric vehicles can be part of the solution in regards to environmental impact.. He was rear ended yesterday and his mother is with him - please help defray her costs.
Everyone keeps asking how they can help - the easiest way is to give a little something to pay for Mrs. Marjorie's hotel stay and some of Nathan's expenses. Tommy, the husband of one of Nathan's great friends, Milli, was able to get his company, Marriott, to greatly reduce the rate for the hotel With donations to date, Mrs.Marjorie won't have to come out of pocket for hotel expenses for ten days. Thank you donors, Tommy, Marriott, when Nathan is well enough to wake up, it will be one less thing on his mind.
FYI, the fundraiser is www.giveforward.com/idiot in recognition of Nathan's trip - read more here - www.wednesdaynightdrinkingclub.com/idiot
