Thanks to SANYLaurie for bringing today's article to my attention. For those not familiar with the original story, see
here.A lot of FReepers sent me cards and donations (over $500 worth), which I then forwarded to Mark's father. (I met Mark and Denise during a visit to Walter Reed right after this horrible story broke.) And I know The Mayor went to a fundraiser - I believe this very one written about - with donations from other FReepers.
It's great to see the huge smiles on their faces. Lord knows they've earned the right to be happy.
And thanks to JimRob for this forum, which allows us to come together for worthy causes.

Please help me ping others who were following this story. I knew it would turn out beautifully, just like the Joshua Sparling saga.

Coop you were the driving force here at FR... Credit belongs to mware. And The Mayor had another effort going, which I'm not as familiar with. But it was all for this fine young couple.

Doesn't it make you so proud of the Beyers family.
With all the graft that happen after Katrine, this family is using the funds that received to make their home handicap accessible.
Lets home Home Depot will help em out.
BTW Coop you do deserve the credit.

Thank you for the follow-up, Coop.
Thanks to you and all FReepers who took the initiative to help turn loss into hope for LCpl Beyers and his wife.
