Kurt Juergens and family need help
Donation protected
Hello. My name is Rich Juergens, and I am asking for help and prayers for my son Kurt and his family, because I know he would be too proud to ask himself. My wife and I have been struggling emotionally ourselves. Two of our three sons have been ill at the same time. Our son Bill passed in May after an 18 month battle with cancer, and Kurt has been unable to work since last October, due to neck surgery and spinal fusion, along with neurological problems that Christiana Care and Johns Hopkins can't figure out, that have left his right arm unusable, constant migraine headaches, mini seizures, and now the right leg is being affected. He is/was the Postmaster of Warwick MD, and because of his work ethic, had compiled over 9 months of sick leave. He has dedicated over 30 years of his life to the Postal Service, but can no longer physically do it. The sick leave has ran out two months ago, and they have no income, except for a minimal amount that Kurt's wife, Sarah, makes working a few hours a week at Shaeffers. They have 5 daughters, and things are closing in on the family. He has applied for disability, which they said should be approved, but it can take up to a year. They are losing their house. He said he would rather lose the house than not be able to feed his family. Because of his pride, he did not want to tell us of his dire situation, but it has reached that point. My wife and I are both retired, and are helping as much as we can, but there is just too much. PLEASE!
