Hi Shane,
This is one of the best stories I’ve read in my relatively short time on this forum.
It’s also by far the longest piece I’ve seen that you have written 
Regarding your comment about “paying forward the gracious generosity,” I’d like to say that you already have! Your technical advice has been incredibly valuable, and I’ve learned so much from you, and I truely appreciate that! How thoughful from the donator, you definitely deserve it, I’m wishing you lots of fun with it during the next six months

Hello Shane,
This was a very touching post that really struck a chord with me. In a world where it seems like so few are in touch with any spirit of kindness or compassion or giving, this Community is the opposite & you are definitely one of our kindest souls. You are always so upbeat & positive, putting a smile on my face with your words of encouragement to others… I really believe that if there’s a more deserving person to be given a gift like this here amongst us, I can’t imagine who that would be! I’m very happy for you!!!
To the person who has done this I can only say “Well Played!!! This was a kindness that helps to restore faith that there are some good humans left on the planet!!!”
Cheers,
Tod
