Short-term Assistance for a fellow YHS Panther

Donation protected
One of our fellow YHS Panthers needs some short-term assistance with monthly living expenses. Now I want to start out by saying that I asked John Originales if we could do this for him and he didn't say yes but he didn't say no. John is not the type to ask for help but he is one of the first to reach out to help others and is a friend to all. The number of people that he has friended and touched over the years has been great and we have enjoyed his humor, though sometimes dry. Ha ha! Trust me, I had a hard time finding a serious picture of him for this Gofundme! I also want to say that I don't take Gofundme lightly and neither does John.

Due to some serious medical complications and surgery, he is undergoing Physical Therapy and is currently in a wheelchair. While going through this medical recovery, he was hit with the news that his company had decided to terminate his job position. It will be very difficult for him to apply and find work elsewhere while he is wheelchair-bound and going through physical therapy, so we as Panthers would like him not to have to worry about his short-term living expenses so that he can concentrate on making a smooth recovery.

No amount is too small and all proceeds will be given to John for living expenses such as housing, food, medical, utilities, etc. We can do this Panther Family!
