aquinasprimeI don't do this often. Actually I think this is the first bleg for donations I have ever posted.
As many of you know, I work in a local hospital. Two members of the operating room staff where I work are sisters. Five years ago, their brother was seriously injured in a car accident. The spinal cord injury he suffered left him wheelchair bound with some use of his arms. Since the time of the accident he has recieved a business degree and raised his now 10-year-old daughter.
He has recently learned of a new rehabilitation center in Atlanta, Georgia that is do new styles of therapy that may allow him to regain mobility. However, this therapy is labeled experimental, and as such all of his costs will be out of pocket.
Last Friday his friends and family held a benefit to help defray these costs. They have also set up a website where you can make donations directly and learn a little bit more about him. If you have some extra money, please consider sending some his way.
