Goodbye for Now

Good morning guys. I am just writing you to let you know that I will be off the site until further notice. We have been battling a long foreclosure process and yesterday it ended with an eviction notice. So right now I need to focus more on my family as I evaluate what comes next and try to avoid being homeless in ten days. This process has been hard on me and my family and Rays Prospects and baseball has been my oasis during this time. I have met some great people over the years here at RP and I thank all you for helping me keep my mind off things even for a little while. Thanks for being there.

    Jim I am so sorry to hear this. You are by far one of my favorites on the site. I love your pictures. I hate this is happening to you and your family. I will be praying for you guys and I know it will all work out. Hang in there.

    I'm also sorry to hear about what you're going through. I followed your site for several years and you always make constructive remarks regarding the players and my son has been one of them. These are hard times and we need to reach out - could I send you something to help out- if so where?

      Thank you for the offer of help. Right now we are working on finding a new place locally (North Port/Englewood area). If you know of anyone with rentals or any avenues towards assistance with security deposit, let me know via e-mail at jwdonten@comcast.net

    Thanks to all of you who e-mailed and commented. I appreciate all the support. It has been a great ride here with RP and you guys have been my oasis through it all.

    We spent the last two days packing and looking for a new place. We have it narrowed down to three homes that meet our needs. Two of them are in Sarasota and the one is in North Port. Personally, I hope to get the one in North Port as it will keep me close to Charlotte Sports Park.

    Now its just a matter of coming up with the money for the deposit or hoping the listing agent will work with us.

      Not sure how your resolution of the situation is going Jim, but I have been away for awhile, just saw this and might have some options if it is not too late. Let me know if you are interested...
