Please check out the above thread.

And please, go to ecardmodels and buy one of my models.
(In case you don't know, I sell models under the Designer's name Dave Winfield, at ecardmodels.com)

I am donating all proceeds of all sales (of my models) for October
to help pay for the surgery costs to help poor Hugo.
It won't be a huge amount, but with your help, it could be a lot more.
Chris has been a valued friend to me for more than five years
and a dog in need is all it takes for me to break down completely.

So, if you had any thought of picking up a model,
why not do it now...and help a good cause.

You can also click on any model at www.papermodelshop.com (http://www.papermodelshop.com)
and it will transfer you over to ecardmodels to make the purchase.

Dave: Just picked up your Auto Diorama Accessory Kit. I'm a cat person myself,
but dogs are cool too. Hope Hugo makes out allright and more folks chip in to help.

I have a credit at Paypal burning a hole in my virtual pocket, so I think I'll wander over and collect a few more of your excellent models for my ever growing stack. I'm sure my wife and Hugo will agree it is for a good cause.

Chris,

this is one noble deed. I will order some more of your models ASAP.
My dog in his final weeks had developed prostate cancer and I fully understand the way how much one can care about a suffering pet.

Regards, Martin

Well I hope you guys saved a few bucks for next month!
I've got a couple more models ready to release in November
and that Tutor Jet is getting very near completion!
lol
But your help right now is much appreciated.

Hoping for another update soon.

And thank you, to those who have already purchased models (from ecardmodels).

As I said earlier, I do have a couple of new models coming out next Month,
but if you feel like picking up something this month, ALL the proceeds from my
sales (for October) will go to a great cause.

I'll save some electrons and tack my pitch onto Dave's. I'm also donating all proceeds of my models sold through e-cardmodels in October to Hugo.

Time to follow up on this story and give out some thanks.

Hugo is doing great...if you haven't already heard.
Three weeks after surgery for a broken back and he's walking well (with a little help of course).
Its amazing what we can do for animals today (if we really want to).
Thank you Chris for taking care of Hugo in this way.

Anyway, I want to thank all those who stepped up to my challenge to buy one of my models in October.
I have donated 100% of sales to Chris Gutzmer at ecardmodels to go towards paying for Hugo's surgery.
I must say, October sales were great...probably my best month ever!!

Obviously the money raised so far does not cover all of Chris' expenses,
so if you still want to donate something just head over to his goFundme page and do that.

A number of other designers also offered up their October sales at ecardmodels...kudos to them too!

Once again, BIG THANKS to all of you that purchased one of my kits.

Now get out there and buy another model.
I just bought a new (used) car and I need some sales this month to pay for it!
