Please Help - Long
As most of you know, in June my "little" brother had to have emergency ascending aortic replacement. He was admitted to the hospital on June 11 and they performed the surgery on June 16. He was very touch and go for a few days, but he is now doing very well. He is still not done with surgeries, however, and needs to have both of his retina's replaced in the near future.
You may remember that when this happened we were not only concerned about his life, we were also worried about the subsequent medical bills, as he has no insurance because he worked construction. Well, he is now not only dealing with the bills rolling in but also is having major problems covering his living expenses. His wife works, but can't take on an extra job right now because she is taking care of him in her spare time. The rest of my family is trying to help them with their bills, but none of us is rich and it's a strain for us also.
So, we have set up a foundation to raise money to help him out financially. I know you guys have been extra generous in regards to Janet and also Deb. I checked with Ron and got the okay to post on here regarding this. We would really appreciate it if any of you could find it in your heart to send him a small donation. It all adds up in the end. We have set up a website if you want more information at TonyBFund or you can make a paypal payment to the tonybfund@hotmail . We are going to set up some fundraisers in the very near future (they could also double as GTG's ), but for now we are trying to do what we can to get him some money to pay his bills.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it.
BTW, I am so proud of myself - setting up websites and paypal accounts, etc. etc.
Thanks again!!!

I was wondering this too. I think NFR and FHF get lots of traffic and we could link it to your announcement in the community events.
I am going to try to make it Saturday morning.
