Hello, my name is Dave Wright #5232 and I am starting this fundraiser on behalf of our brother and friend Neal Talijan #5104. This past year, Neal has had a series of hospitalizations and medical procedures at St. Luke's Hospital in the Lehigh Valley resulting in the loss of a limb. After his release from the hospital, he was transferred to Good Shepherd rehabilitation center in Saucon Valley, PA. Although insurance covered some of the major bills, there are still a tremendous amount of out of pocket costs creating a financial hardship for Neal and his family. My hope is that everyone can come through for our good friend in order to ease this financial burden and get him on his road to recovery. These funds will be used for the necessary exorbitant co-pays, out of pocket expenses, and household renovations needed for Neal to resume his typical day to day activities as a husband, father, and friend.
