Help our mailman George with medical bills
Donazione protetta
***ONGOING EFFORT while he receives treatment***
He's dedicated to delivering our mail...let's deliver some financial relief to him!
My dear friend and mailman, George, is battling a mean cancer. He has served the community of Santa Clara, California for 18 years as a mail carrier for the US Postal Service. He has rarely missed a day on his route! Now, just 2 years shy of a well-earned retirement, he has suddenly and unexpectedly been diagnosed with cancer.
He underwent a surgery in February and is now going through chemotherapy treatments. The expense for continuing medical care is very high, as are the co-payments due now, which gives him extra stress and worry. He needs all his energy for healing and recovery, so I'm hoping we can raise enough to cover his current bills and perhaps more as they continue to come in. It's enough to be faced with the diagnosis and endure the treatments, but then the hefty copays are just an added burden.
George is originally from Ilocos Sur in the Philippines and has lived in the bay area since 1985. I asked his permission to try this fundraiser for him, because he is a humble person who never wants to asks anyone for anything. He was hesitant at first, saying he doesn't want to be a burden, but i convinced him that he is appreciated by many people here and that many will want to help.
Thank you for any amount you can comfortably contribute. I believe the minimum amount is $5. Anything helps & is much appreciated!
