Family in need - Fallen officer - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice.
Several weeks ago officer Robert Lasso of the Freemansburg, PA police force was killed in the line of duty. He left a wife, two children under the age of six, and a very close extended family and network of friends.

His mother recently came to my father and I, knowing that we were car guys. Officer Lasso and his father were both pushing hard to get their classic cars up and running by the end of the summer so they could attend their first car show together. Now that this simple joy has been taken away from his remaining family the cars have been put away, the memory of Robert still too painful for the family to consider working on them again. Robert's mother asked us if we knew how to contact one of the television shows that restors cars for individuals or families in need. I instantly thought of the show "Overhaulin'" that was hosted by Chip Foose. My research showed that the show stopped filming in 2009. If you can think of any other shows, foundations, or other organizations I could contact please let me know. I would like to do something to help the family with this!
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
Dave

Sorry to hear about this...
There is another show called "Search and Restore". I think Overhaulin is primarilly LA area. Search and Restore is national.

What about the show Rides? You might consider having the organization, Thin Blue Line (TBL) or Concerns Of Police Servivors (COPS) get involved as well. Just some thoughts.
