5/30/04- My name is Bill Bleecker and I am Doug's primary Care Provider.   I spend over 85 hours a week helping Douglas so I know him very, very well.   Doug has many needs, but of immediate concern is securing reliable transportation for Doug.   His 1988 mini-van needs                and it just isn't safe to take Doug anywhere, especially in the 110 degree heat!   He's due now for his next doctor's appt and it's a hazard to take him there.   He just can't ride comfortably/safely in a regular car.
Doug's greatest joy in life is to get out and see something besides the cieling in his room.   We are seeking help of all sorts; volunteers to help get this organization and website together, and fundraising advice and support.   If you are interested please contact me at:                                                                                                                                                                                                         
8/2/04 update- The van's A/C has now been fixed!

8/21/05 - Well Doug has had two of his wisdom teeth pulled and is recovering well.  I think it was worse for me!  Anyway, he seems to be feeling much better without those impacted wisdom teeth!  I have gone thru this site and tried to fix all of the pictures... enjoy!
Next month Doug goes on his first Cruise!!!!!

11/13/05:  Time for an update!  The most exciting thing to report is that I have decided to go further into debt and buy a mini-van so I can continue to take Doug out of his room and into the world.  His 17 yr old mini-van just wasn't working out to be safe and reliable anymore.  I've also aquired a pop-up camper and have spent most of my 'free' time making the van and camper usable for us.  Here is a pic of the new set-up...

ATTENTION PLEASE:
I AM VERY SAD TO ANNOUNCE THAT I AM NO LONGER CARING FOR DOUG, SINCE, DUE TO A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH  HIS GUARDIAN.  I had to quit.  I was there for Doug 7 days a week! and EVERY NIGHT!

I WILL TRY AND KEEP THIS PAGE AS A MONUMENT TO DOUG.

Thanks to all our fans for your support during this difficult time.
 
Perhaps one day someone will care about Doug as deeply as I do.  When that day comes they will certainly turn to me for his deepest secrets.  For now he is hanging by the threads that I created to help him survive.  As of now, I can only report that he might still be surviving!. (12-17-07).

I haven't been able to see him due to his Guardian's callousness.  That is a sad situation, not worthy of this tribute to Doug, and it will never be forgiven nor forgotten.  How can any one person do so much wrong to a kid like Doug?  Hopefully we can find out and prevent this from ever happening again.  I am willing to head any foundation that will seek to prevent this kind of  cruelty to the Developementally Disabled.
SINCE 2005 WE HAVE RECIEVED ZERO CONTRIBUTIONS BY THE VIEWERS OF THIS SITE. 
I  WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THOSE WHO DID HELP WITH THE OLD VAN AND THE DISNEY CAMPAIGNS.

DOUG THANKS YOU  EVEN MORE!!!!!!!!
