I heard from my cousin Pam and she had an update on her brother Gary. They have put him on an EMCO machine to hopefully strengthen and stabilize him for further treatment. I recently posted a plea to help Gary and his family and there has been no response at all. Not one dime! Now, I realize this is not your problem, but here are a few things that I discovered. These are the things people (my facebook friends) are giving their money for.
Please find a little bit and help my family, we all help others and I am asking you to help my family. Actually I am begging. If this offends anyone, I apologize, but my family needs help.
