I am a 59 yr old truck driver in the Teamsters, Married to my lovely Bride, Dina, since 1991. We have 3 kids, 4 grandchildren, and even one great grandchild. Working construction in NY means there are always the possiblilities of work shutting down for the colder weather. And thats what happened this year. I developed a cough in December, that wouldnt go away and got prgressively worse. I finally went to Urgent Care, and was innediately sent to Cardiology, and ECHO led to a Catherization, and the grim diagnosis I needed Triple Bypass surgery.

 The savings we had left has been eaten up by co pays thus far, and new prescriptions, and the Surgery is scheduled for April 21st.

We are in dire need of any and all assistance immediately, donations raised will first be used for the co pays at the hospital, I have already been told its a 3 to 4 hour surgery, then a day or two in ICU, and at least 5 days before I can head home. We have no idea as to that cost. And according to my medical team it will be at minimum 2 and as long as 6 months to rehabilitate from all of this. Add to this, My wife will be trying to work while at the same time be my caretaker and will be missing alot of work to care for me, 

We will need help with our monthly expenses while I heal. 

To say any and all help is greatly appreciated is the understatement of the world. Our gratitude would be boundless and beyond what words could express.

Thank you for your kind consideration.
