Dave has been struggling with health issues for quite some time. He's been fighting a pituitary tumor, Cushing's disease, hypothyroidism, and diabetes insipidus. He's also had vision loss and possibly some hearing loss. As you'll also know, his medical coverage and work situation has made it very difficult for him to get proper care for these things. He's currently not just looking after his own medical problems, but providing primary care for his mother in her final years.
I've been friends with Dave since Sacred Heart High School, as most of you have. I know him as a smart, big-hearted, upstanding guy who's a very hard worker and doesn't like to make excuses for himself. I hate to see him going through this on his own, and I'd like to help him.
You may have seen his pleas for financial help on FaceBook recently. Specifically, he was looking to get relief for uncovered endocrinologist visits and dental work for his mother. I know it wasn't easy for him to ask for that, and he intends to pay back the money he gets. I understand that he'll need at least $2000 to put a good dent in these bills. I'd like to see if we can raise more than that.
We all spend money on silly things everyday. I know I do. I'm asking that you please consider making a donation to help an old friend. I tried to make it as easy as possible using this forum. Unfortunately, it does charge a fee for each donation made through it. If you have a PayPal account linked to your personal bank account, you can make donations directly to Dave without fees. Use his email address (ronak00000@gmail.com) to identify him on PayPal.
