This raffle and fundraiser is to help out Dakman who was prepared to sell off part of his collection to pay upcoming medical bills, and (forgive me the political digression) it makes me furiously mad that we live in a country that has turned the health of its citizens into a profit center. You can watch him explain the situation in his own words here.

29% of Americans delayed taking a vacation, 26% put off medical treatment and 11% skipped meals to cover medical costs. 10% of adults say they postponed their retirement due to healthcare costs. 43% of Americans say they did not take a prescribed medicine because of the out-of-pocket cost to them. 3 million Americans have more than $10,000 in healthcare debt they can't pay.

So, I say we take care of our own. Maybe it won't be enough, but at least it'll be something. Thank you all for participating, who knows who will be impacted next. 🫶🏻

100% of every dollar sent to PayPal for this will go to Dakman. I'll make up the difference in fees and transfer costs, and the locomotive is being generously donated by Stu Rankin and METCA, which is incredibly kind of them. To participate, use THIS LINK or send any raffle entries/donations to paypal@ccmftrains.com.

This next part is kind of important, and there are some people out there who have trouble reading so I'm going to put it in big letters with small words:

TELL ME IN THE NOTE ON YOUR PAYMENT IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE RAFFLE, OR IF YOU ARE JUST MAKING A DONATION. NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO BE IN THE RAFFLE, AND THAT'S OKAY. IF YOU DO SAY "THIS IS FOR THE RAFFLE" YOU WILL GET THE NEXT NUMBERS AVAILABLE ASSIGNED TO YOU, AND IT'S RANDOM SO YOU HAVE THE SAME CHANCE OF WINNING AS ANYONE ELSE.

TOTAL RAISED SO FAR: $0.00
TOTAL RAFFLE ENTRIES: 0
