Put my name down if you think I'm worthy. My son has so many food and environmental allergies which cause debilitating skin conditions, and almost all my cash goes into paying for trips to children's hospital and all the stuff that we need to treat him. Ain't no way I will have time or money to buy a still like you guys have come up with - not that I'm complaining either; been very happy doing the occasional run with my little pot still ;)

Can you put my name in the hat, haven't got a sob story other then the normal kids and mortgage, be a very long time before I could get back into the hobbie with a pot still let alone a piece of home made artwork. There are people that are more worthy on this site so if my name does not make it into the hat.....everyone have a Merry Christmas, and be safe.

I would like to put forward FilhyPhil as a deserving member, I little background, Phill is my son in law and has assisted me on my builds, but has not the means to build himself as he has just moved to Tasmania.

After a work accident which has left him with multiple spinal injuries, last week he collapsed onto the back off his car and could not feel his legs and his arms were numb...I shyte mself cause I thought he's farked and a chair is on the horizon !

The ambo's took him to hospital where they injected an anti inflammatory and in around an hour he was walking again but looked like shyte, I know you might be thinking who is he, well he's one of our members who reads more than post but generally prof reads my input. I have noted people firing a shot over the bow of a sob posts but fact is life throws all sort of shyte your way and just as you say woways me you hear of some other poor buggers lot in life and think I'm not that bad !.

J

Merry Christmas and I hope all has a prosperous new year
