At the moment, we're at a stumbling block.
Now I'm not sure if there's something seedy and underhanded going on with this fundraiser for Scott, but I also wouldn't doubt it if there were.
The big bulk of donations made, so that Scott can get the car of his choice, has been placed on hold. I received the following via email this morning (10-19-24):
"Hi,
To ensure we provide the best service possible and effectively complete our review, we're taking a bit more time to work through what you've already provided. Please feel free to add any additional information, context, or documentation in the meantime, and thank you for your patience and understanding.
We'll follow up as soon as we can.

Everything I could possibly think of was given to them for reference, verification and so on. There's been zero things forgotten or submitted.
So now it's a waiting game. It throws a big wrench in the when part, but we're still pushing on through because nothing is going to stop what the people wanted to do for Scott Presler. Nothing!
Let me be clear once more, this fundraiser was not made of, thought of, used for expected to be used for any political gain, affirmation or implementation. It was built and designed as the mere wish to appreciate Scott, who has worked and continually works so hard, especially in Pennsylvania, as a gift and a gift alone.
To allow Scott the opportunity to come to the decision of what he wants on his own merit. That choice is entirely up to Scott and Scott alone. Any, I repeat, any remaining funds will be given to Scott directly.
Again, the entire process has been documented and illustrated so that there are absolutely no inconsistencies, fraud or deception taking place, from beginning to end. It means a lot from the people who donated, helped spread the word - but it means the most from me, because I took on the responsibility to round it all up on behalf of the people who want to thank Scott.
