Dan posted this appreciation in the Newfane Forum after asking if “anyone have a car that you would be willing to rent out for a few days? Our car stopped moving yesterday and goes into the dealership on Thursday. I was rather surprised that a regular rental car is $85 per day. I know that this is a long shot, but if anyone has something that moves that you would be willing to rent, we would like to do so.”
We thought it was well worth a share:
3:00 I send a post to FPF looking for a car to rent
4:00+- FPF posts it
5:00 first email offering a car
7:00 knock on door, it’s a neighbor with the keys to the car they just delivered to our house!
9:00 gratefully declined three more offers of a car, plus a couple of good suggestions.
So, this is a bit of a plug for the efficiency and efficacy of FPF.
But even more, it is a huge shout-out to all of the neighborhood for so much kindness and caring. Thank you all!
