Drew Needs Our Help (Getting a Transplant!)

Donation protected
In December our friend Drew was hospitalized and his diagnosis is VERY serious.
 
A good friend to many, a Rad Dad, Pizza Ripper and all around loved guy Drew Cramer - AKA “Personal” for those who know him as the fearless leader of the Pizza Army - is in need of some serious DOUGH!
 
After a number of procedures, consultations with specialists and medications, Drew is now recovering at home. There are many more procedures and appointments to come. Drew’s day to day since his hospitalization has been intense and his new job is now taking complete care of himself in hopes for the best possible outcome and recovery. He is unable to work. We are at the beginning stages of this journey, but we’re all confident that he can get through this with this really great support system of Family, Friends and Pizza fans.
 
Drew's spirits are good and his sense of humor is still dark. ‘Last call’ was announced, the sound guy cut the PA and Drew hasn’t had a drink since his hospitalization in December. Just because there aren't pints of Newcastle Brown involved, it doesn't mean Drew can't still talk your ear off about Venom.
 
 
 
 
Drew has given his life to rock and roll, and we all know the financial position this can put a rocker in. Drew thankfully does have medical coverage, however the medical bills and co-pays as well as the general cost of living are beginning to present a challenge, and Drew has started to dip into his personal pizza tips aka savings, and that’s not gonna last very long.
 
At this point, Drew’s prognosis remains unknown and requires a lot of “wait and see”. We are all optimistic that with lots of rest, new medications, strict diet, and great doctors, the rocker we know and love will be doing what he does best again soon. Importantly there is a very real possibility of a major organ transplant in his future- and this will require at least 6 months of recovery time. From Drew to you- “Please help your favorite rock n roll weirdo not die. Chopped Liver is NOT a pizza topping “
 
All jokes aside, this is serious stuff, and we want to see Drew recover as fast and stress free as possible.
 
 
 
 
Drew’s loving family and daughter Lida, his sweetheart Lindsay and his friends are doing all they can to help, but this will be a very challenging, long year and any financial help that friends would be willing to donate to would be greatly appreciated.
 
We’re asking that you please help out however you are able too. This new pizza joint Drew’s found himself in does NOT offer free de-LIVER-y, and even the smallest amount means a lot.
 
We will keep everyone regularly updated on Drew’s progress. Messages of love and support are most welcome and appreciated if a donation isn’t possible. Thanks to everyone in advance for helping get our guy on the road to recovery and off the Highway to Hell!

If inclined, feel free to post/share this link on any platform.
 
Thanks everyone! That's amore!
