Default OT: Friend in need of help -- Update -- She's out of the Hospital!

I have a friend in need.

Just days after giving birth, Katy Hayes, wife of my guitar teacher and friend Al Hayes, fell critically ill from a Strep A infection, and is on a ventilator fighting for her life. Al and Katy are both contract workers. Al can't work right now, and the medical bills are building at an alarming rate while they literally go through the fight of their lives. They have three kids, one a newborn.

I know that none of you know them, but if you can, please dig down and send in a little to help them out. These are good, hard working people who need help badly.

Don't know if this is RL kosher, but... Let's see what the power of RL can do. There's a link to donate on the my44music web site. http://my44music.com/

If everyone just gave $10 it would make a difference.

Thanks so much. I knew you guys would come through. I've never met a better group of people than I've met though the Porsche community.

Done. Fingers are crossed.

I will be in Houston the week after next, and will help out any way we can.

All our best.

Hoosier slush fund? JK. Good on ya Mike.

I'm in. This is a national disgrace. I have lived and spent time in different countries, 2nd and 3rd world, and none are as amoral as the US regarding the wellbeing of their citizens.
There is a good business case for Medicare Part E.
