Canavan family

Donation protected
I am Brian Riese aka Jack Frost. I believe some of you already know Paul Canavan had an extremely serious medial emergency. With out getting too far into it he has spent many days now in ICU with a brain bleed. This will leave him unable to work for quite some time if ever again. He is my friend, my brother, and someone that has always been an unconditional person to me for almost 40+ years now.
His wife dawn that works part time as she finishes school is exhausted with fear, and uncertainty. The sudden expenses, and fears have already taken its toll on Dawn, and their two kids Hailey, and Jordan. Neither of them would want me to do this because they are very proud of the life they have been building in Arizona. If ever there was a time to help a friend it is now. I will certainly be yelled at by my loud mouth friend when he gets the strength to yell at me when he finds out about this, but I don’t care, because I love him like a brother, and brothers piss each other off.
In the mean time they could really use a little financial help from friends, and family.
If any of you truly know me I am the first to donate so I am personally asking all to please help out with anything they can. I know times a tough for everyone. If you can help out it will go directly towards bills so they can worry about one less thing as my friend Paul heals .

I have updated the goal, Paul has improved, but his road to recovery has also increased. He will need speech therapy and god willing will recover his ability remove the feeding peg from his stomach. I can’t thank the people who have donated enough. I just know it’s going ti be a long road, and financial challenge on his family.
Keep kicking ass Paul and stay strong
