Please help our friend Bruce Bilek
Bruce is an amazing, hard working, multi-talented artist who lost his job after the bar he worked at for over 30 years permanently closed. He has been waiting weeks for his unemployment to be approved. Even if it does come through it's expected to be only a fraction of what he needs to live on. Complicating the situation even more is the fact that he has a severe autoimmune disease.
Bruce has an advanced case of Crohn's disease that makes it very difficult for him to work or even live normally on most days. He goes several days at a time without eating because of the pain. He experiences chronic insomnia from the worrying which unfortunately exasperates his condition. Bruce is in a desperate situation here.
Between losing his job, paying out of pocket for his part of the treatments and medications plus paying for his insurance premiums (not to mention the rent and household bills) this disease has drained him of his life savings. He is unable to pay his rent this month. So needless to say Bruce is under a lot of stress trying to figure this all out.
If you do know Bruce then you know what a great guy he is and how deserving he is for a little of our help.
If you don't know Bruce then please know that he is a generous, caring person with an immense amount of integrity. He is always true to his character and is too proud to ask people for money no matter how bad off he is. That is why I am asking for help for him on his behalf.
I know these are some tough times for a lot of people and if you are unable to help out then I totally understand. But if you do have the means to help Bruce out and you can find it in your heart to do something for him then please consider contributing to this Go Fund. And even if you don't contribute please consider sharing this post or buying an art piece directly from him.
Thank You.
And thank you for taking the time to read this.
God Bless!
