Tapping into your generous side :)
I don't typically ask for anything like this, from anyone, but this is important to me and ya'll are some of the most generous people I know, so here goes. If you'll click the link, you'll get the full, detailed explanation. He's improving, slowly but surely, but his family is in deep financial woes at this point and he has much rehab ahead before their lives return to any form of normal. Thank you in advance to anyone that is able to participate.
A little background that the link won't give you is he's the brother-in-law of my boss. His wife and young daughters were told almost a month ago that he may not make it. That broke my heart. He was in a medically-induced coma for 3 weeks, and was totally dependent on machines for every function. She's had to quit working, temporarily, in order to be with him and care for the girls as well. He's shown MUCH improvement lately, such as they woke him up, he was taken off dialysis this week, and approved for a liquid diet yesterday. Those are HUGE steps! But he still doesn't have a clue what his body has been through for the last month. Doctors say rehab will be extensive, like 6 months or more. I've prayed more in the last month than I ever have in my life. Thanks again!

Prayers and a contribution sent, too.
BTW, though some don't like Paypal, for something like this it is ideal.

I just wanted to thank you all again, and give a brief update on Keith.
He's been moved to a rehab facility, and shows improvement each day. They've been very impressed with his progress. Said he may not have as many months of rehab as originally planned if he keeps improving at this rate. He was even able to spend Christmas morning with his family via webcam. Thank you all so much! I hope you have a truly blessed 2012.
