LoweDown HoeDown to Benefit David Lowe - Ended 02.17.2013 11a-2p

Another amazing friend of ours is putting together a "Family Day" at a local Las Vegas Ranch that will be open to the public so invite all of your friends; 100% of the profits will help us get through our new challenges. Mckee Ranch Comfortable country atmosphere complete with lots of trees lots of shade, red barn, grass pastures, an array of animals, goats, games, chickens, high caliber cleanliness, 600 sq. ft. of indoor party barn, and of course horses!

This was a really great event, I was thoroughly surprised at the proximity of the ranch compared to the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas, and yet it was a whole other world. The weather was perfect, there were quite a few people that came out; Friends, family, and perfect strangers that had heard about it on the radio, news, media webpages, craigslist, FaceBook and even simple word of mouth. We had two great food trucks, Melteez and The Spot, there as well serving up some amazing eats. Unfortunately I didn't have the energy to ride the horses or ponies, but I still managed to tour the ranch and pet the animals with everybody that came to visit. I could express how thankful i am for the people that put this event on, as well as the people that came to visit on my behalf.

All-in-all this was a success; the weather was supposed to rain, but it didn't, however it was very cold and windy...not the best Garage Sale conditions. Although it wasn't prime selling weather, our great friends, Jamie Blankenship, Amy Blankenship, Heather Peters and Bill Kalogeras still stuck it out so that we could make some great sales and in the process I met some great people with big hearts. I can't thank God enough for the support he has put into my life; without these people we were be on the verge, if not already, out of house and home.

A close friend of my wife's won this auction. Kristie Sanchez was generous enough to purchase it at $500.00, and furthermore, she donated it back to use so that our family can have a very nice photo. I can't thank her and her family enough for their generosity and look forward to seeing them all very soon.

Donation Information

Most people think of donations as being wholly monetary; although this would be easiest for both parties, item donations for our regular garage sales, baked goods or supplies and even auctioning your skills have helped in the past.

If you feel the need to donate, please click the "Donate" button bellow. Please indicate, with your address, whether or not you would like to receive some stickers to show your support.

Supporting Partners

Here are a few links to people that have helped out without even blinking an eye:

Calvary Chapel Mesquite

- This is my in-laws, Rick and Marie Jacksons church. Although they are now related to me by marriage, what they did for me, they would do for anybody else in AND out of the church; i have seen it before. I can't list how much they've done for me alone in this hard struggle because i would fill the page. If you get a chance to visit their chruch, or support their missionary programs, please do. I have never enjoyed going to church as much as i do here!

Indian Springs Towing

- This company is owned and operated by Jacque Carr, a friend of ours; even closer is her wonderful daughter, Heather, who also works for the company. They have been around almost as long as i have been alive...i know, not that long, only 27 years. If ever i have met an upstanding family that will go out of their way to help they would be one of them. If you need assistance with towing, 24/Hr Roadside Assistance or vehicle wrecking in the Southern Nevada Area, they would be the ones to call.

KartFX/MB2 Raceway

- Chris and Martine Brooks at KartFX were gracious enough to donate stickers for the LoweDown HoeDown and additional stickers to be distributed to people that donate throughout my journey. These are some of the coolest, nicest people I know and I couldnt be more grateful to know them. If you need some stickers made, or a trailer wrapped, these are the people to see; check 'em out and you won't be sorry!

Melteez Food Truck

- Andrew and the guys at Melteez are great people. They are volunteering their time to come and support our McKee Ranch event on February 17th, 2013, all after spending the night out at Fremont the night before promoting their business. I have had the pleasure, and i seriously mean pleasure, of having one of their Grilled Cheese Gourmet Delicacies; the best I have every had. Sure, you may scoff at "The Best Grilled Cheese Ever", until you've had one of your own. Check these guys out every Friday and Saturday night out at Fremont Street; Great Food and Good People.

Pavement Ends Photography

- To be honest, i never knew Skylar Stevens prior to my diagnosis. He was in the high school class of my brother in-law, Rick, and messaged my wife directly to try and help out. Check out the Facebook link I provided; he's got great photos and seems to be very genuine and honest.

Waxie Sanitary Supply

- This is where i was working prior to my hospital stay. If every you have worked for a company that made you feel like family, all the way up to Owner and CEO, this would be that company. I have had tremendous support and concern from the entire company and can't wait to be back at it again with them. If your in need of a quality cleaning product with an economical price, check them out; you wont be disappointed!
