This family has endured so much and has come through the best they could.

They are a family of 12. 10 children and the parents, Sylvia and Roy.

They recently lost their three year old son, Samuel to Neuroblastoma. He fought a valiant fight , as all cancer patients do but, his was extra special as he was so young. His family has been by his side throughout treatments and "remission" and again at his side when he took his last breath. I believe this family deserves an acti of kindness for not only the obvious reasons-as you will read in the article (link above) but, for also being so brave and loving throughout this traumatic, life changing event.

I am available to answer questions or help.

My name is Adele Morin.

My number is : 808-744-3219 Please consider this well deserving family.

xo,A.

Please overhaul my 65 year old native American husbands wounded "war pony". A 1955 ford courier. He found it on the reservation over ten years ago. Paid 300 dollars for it. Mean time has raised his own kids and adopted four more.Our baby is four and she loves to sit in it. Chief tells her "some day its gonna gallop like the wind!" It has nothing inside it, its in terrible condition! Chief knows nothing much about fixing autos, its a dream, a fantasy you know? I would love to be able to see his pony go to war again!

Hi i watch your show all the time,which gave me this idea.My fiance has a 90 Chevrolet Van that sits in our yard.He is a drummer for his band & when gigging he crams his drums in a focus not easy!He say's he will get it fixed,but as he has custody of his 2 children & there needs come first it will never get fixed.Please Fill his dreams.He deserves this dream to come true.You have no idea what this would mean to him & his 2 children.He is such a great father & hard worker,but has trouble getting ahead.Thank you!

the retrac was almost finished by them, but then father stored the car and let it fall back out of shape. Father passed away a few years ago, and so hubby got to bring her home. She needs restored but the hubby is soo picky about her. He demands original factory parts.. and only the best for her. I think hes married to that car, I sure know its been the first love in his life. I admit its a beautiful car. Still runs if you go out and start it. He drives it once in a blue moon. The Galaxy was his uncles car and passed down to the hubby. He hates me calling it the granny car. I asked him if I could have the car, but under the condition I restore it MY way. He says NO cause he doesnt want me turning it into a Hot Rod Race Car.. which I would do.. (smiling here).. He currently uses the car to store junk in.. poor thing. Chip, I honestly would challenge YOU to take on these projects.. Getting these cars away from him would be a challenge in itself. you wouldnt only be restoring an antique, but battling a picky grump who owns them. My hubby is in the process of quitting smoking.. Hes 38 yrs old and has smoked since he was a kid. I told him he could buy a $17,000 Harley if he would quit. Needless to say, I just did some laundry and found cigarrette butts in his pockets..lol Yes I can laugh about it cause I knew when I signed the papers on the new bike he would never quit. But I love him that much, enough to do what I can to try to get Chip to steal these cars and restore them to their original beauty so I can tell him thats his lifetime wedding anniversary gifts from a loving wife. His gift in return you say? (to finally quit smoking once and for all) but only after the cars are returned and hes not freaking out about them being stolen... HELP a devoted wife?

This is an awesome show, especially at a time like this. You guys do amazing things for people who really need it. Bless all of you! My husband just recently sold his pride and joy, his Subaru STI. He sold or well traded it to get me a better car for our girls. He bought himself a 91 Honda CRX. Its going to take years of work for him. It needs everything from interior or body to engine. It would be a true blessing if you Chip and the crew would overhaul his car. If there is a way to send pictures to you guys let me know. I would be happy to do so. Thank you all so much for what you do.

My fiancé, Daren, was born on July 31, 1969 and brought home by his father in his 1968 Barracuda. My fiancé's earliest memories are in that car and it has been passed down and will continue to be passed down if the condition of the car can be maintained. Daren's son , Zack, loves cruisin' around in his "Dad's Hot Rod" and it is in desperate need of some TLC. Daren and I plan to marry in June of this year and we hope to bring our own child home in the very same car! Of course, our finances do not allow us to make this dream car a real "dream" so we are hoping you will consider making our dreams come true!

My fiance has a 1966 Ford Bronco please help! He's a stay at home dad and does bike rebuilds from our garage. We have little money and this is his only vehicle. He needs something more reliable, something safer than what he presently has. I could never do this for him on my own but with your help we could make his dream ride come alive! I have watched your show on a regular basis but we didn't have the internet until January of this year. So now I am sending you this in hopes that Chip and the team can tear this bad boy up!

20 years ago my husband redid his 1st Bronco. I made him sell it so that we could survive. He has another bronco and just doesn't seem to ever get the time it takes to fix it up. He tells me that he is going to restore it and give it to my son. My son is almost 13. We were watching your show and somebody had complained about the color of the car you did. (I don't know why, it looked great). My husband said I wouldn't care if you had painted pink, it is like having a new car. He watches your show all the time. How do I get his truck on the show?

Dear "Overhaulin" crew, my name is Rebecca. My fiance has a car that needs alot of work. We have a one year old little boy so money is very tight and we can't afford to get the car fixed or even get a new one. He has done so much to make sure that our family has whatever we need. He works grounds and maintenance at an apartment complex and loves to work on cars. I know that if his car was overhauled he would not know what to do. if you could please email me back and let me know if there is anything you can do to help. thanks very much.

My name is Shena, I have been married to my husband for 5yrs. He came to own his fathers 87Ford F150 truck after his father passed away. He had not seen his father since he was teenager, and unfortunately he passed away before they could be reunited. My husband is a very caring and loving husband and father. He always puts his family first before his own needs. After my father passed away, just two months after his fathers demise, he invited my mother to live with us, trying to help her out in his own way. My husband was only 19 when he joined the Navy and has been serving in United States Navy for the past 10yrs and is planning to do so for another 10. It is a hard life being married to the Navy, he is away on deployment for many months out of the year, even missing the most important of holidays. He does not get to see much of his family and when he is home we try to spend as much time as we can doing the fun things in life. My husband has stepped up to help so many others even when he did not have the strength to do so, but somehow he always found the fight within himself. And this is my way of saying thanks for all that he has done for not only my family and I but for so many others that he has helped along the way. Thanks, Shena:)

I am from a small community in Newfoundland, Canada and currently in the volunteer fire department. As a small community(s) we currently have 2 fire trucks which are old and one of them is barely useable, so we decided to raise money from the residents in which we provide our services. With the money that we raised and worked so hard to get we bought a truck (cab and chasie) from Northern Caralonia and drove it home. Now that we got the truck home we are going to try and build a fire truck out of it. So i am writing to you to see if there is any information that you could pass on to us to help us build our fire truck. Without this truck being completed i don't know if we, the firefighters would be able to continue the service's that we provide for our communities. If you have any tips or information that would help us out with our project would be greatly appericated. Feel free to e-mail any information to the following address

My husband bought my son a '67 mustang for a project car. My son is 8 years old and would really think it was cool if it would be done sooner than planned. My husband had intentions of having more time to work on it but his work takes him away all week and so it really limits the amount of time he has to put into it.They both really work so hard in what they do and I believe they deserve this. Our intentions is for it to be my son's first car when he turns 16, my son would be so excited for it to be on your show as well to get to ride in it as a kid and then get to drive it when he is old enough.
