I volunteered to help out Jeff Bridge on his first trip to NyC. I had no idea I would be stuck with his expenses of gas, tolls, food, parking in NYC. Besides that, He took with him an expensive ($100.00) logo sweater (Human Rights Campaign), which I let him wear, but told him he had to return. On top of it he asked to barrow a theft prevention metal snake to attached to his Lab Top for safety (cost me $99.00) He also took that with him. Did not return.

I had no idea this man of 36 years, weights around 300 lbs. He could not carry bags, walk fast and needed to sleep in a king size bed. This and many things he never told me. But when he arrived at La Guardia, He said he was broke! He was warned that the Good Samaritan had stopped working and was in disability. He had to pay for the car expenses, tolls, gas, parking, incidentals. The Samaritan would let him stay one night at his home. His way of getting money was to raffle a Lab Top, which I was asked to help him sell the tickets. He said that as soon as money from the raffle tickets came through on Saturday (this was Thurs.) he would take care of me. " Not to Worry" He used a credit card for the $9.00 parking toll out of La Guardia, but that is the only thing he paid in the 3 days I helped him with everything. I used 100 miles from the trips from La Guardia to Bay ridge Brooklyn to pick up boxes he had sent. Then Staten Island, Then Brooklyn, then down town Manhattan, then the Javitt's Center. This went on for 3 days and he wanted me to continue a fourth day, but by that time I was exshausted and feeling sick from carrying his stuff in the rain and driving him around. I also found out he accidentally had given me a purse which contained $100.00 in singles. I found it while I was looking form parking in chelsea, because it's cheaper there and free if you get lucky. To tghn come back to Javit's Center by bus. I returned his $100.00 dollars. Stupid Samaritan.

Jeff Bridges lied and steal after getting a $300.00 HP labtop for free from his mom to auction at the the Gay expo summer-fall 2008 at Javitts center, NYC. He had no one to help him with over 12 boxes of materials from La guardia and from a friends's house, whose he had never met but over the net and be delivered to Javittt's.What Jeff did was to use emails and the power of the computer and gay groups to recruit people that wanted to help the community. Never did he helped with money or anything else to any group in NYC even though he got a lot of free exposure. I was one of the ones belonging to one of those groups, recruited on the net. I said I would help. But no longer had a job and my soley means of money was a government check. As such, he used me to drive him from La Guardia one snow-rain storm night to Bay Ridge, Bklyn to Staten Island and to Bay Ridge to downtown Manhattan and to Javitts back and forth. He was warned at the airport again, about that he had to pay for his expenses. He said he was broke but had a credit card. With that he paid a #9.00 charge for parkingat La guardia, but the $10 tolls to SI , several times never paid. Bought me a gyro once..while I picked him up with his boxes but because of his 300lbs he could not even carry an unbrella...a taxi out of the question. He stole a computer tether and a $100 sweat logo shirt from the human Rights campaign from me. He said then that he thought he mailed these items, but it was not picked up. That flyes on the face of sanity. How would I not collect anything of what he took from me? He told me what his plan was and is to file papers witht he IRS for a 501C? so he wont have to pay taxes on the money he gets by people he conjole and lies into contruibuting iknto some thing that does not exist.. My next letter will be to the IRS> I've given him enough time. Here in NYC the word is out about him:L A User! A Shame that someone that has dedicated many years to community work, gets used by this user. But, what goes around comes around! Sorry that it will affect someone with a good idea about helping people. THis Jeff Bridge from an HIVCampground...no office does not exist..just a PO office at a kinko's.
