I am posting this for my friend, below is a photo of Dusty

Dusty is a loving caring man who has helped many throughout his life.  He has fallen on hard times- literally!!
A little info about Dusty..er a lot..sorry I know it's long but please read!!
In April 1967 - 68 was Dusty's 1st tour in the Marines
Began In December of 1967 -he served 4 years and He vowed never to go back.
He went on to get his degree and make a good life for himself after active duty in the Marines.
He was sent to CAMP LE JUNE in 1966 for Engineer School and again from 1972 -1974 while there he was exposed to all types of poisons and toxins due to drinking, cooking with, bathing in the contaminated water-click here (in-depth video) above and below to see the case. Currently we are waiting for the Supreme court to rule.  Erin Brockovich is helping them fight.
It turns out that his unit along with many others was exposed to AGENT ORANGE - he filed a claim with the VA what seems like 100yrs ago..and STILL nothing has happened..
In 2001 he had his 1st massive heart attack, they performed an Angioplasty immediately on is first 2 arteries, then he had his 2nd Angioplasty just 30 days later on the other 3 arteries..
If this wasn't bad enough- once he was feeling better and was up and about he fell and broke his hip! After he got his hip replaced he was sent home early (because he did not have insurance) witha massive kidney infection!! 
Because of the mounting bills, he finally turned to his local VA Hospital for help- which would be the PHOENIX VETERANS HOSPITAL
The good news is there have been major changes at the VA in the last 30-40 yrs BUT it's got a different set of issues now..
Currently; he's been waiting 3 months to get a sonogram of his heart because his last primary care MD wanted see if his heart is enlarged..he is still waiting to hear if/when the appointment is.. There is ONE CARDIOLOGIST for the entire PHX VA HOSPITAL..

**UPDATE***Ken suffered a Massive Heart Attack Feb 25th 2015-He Had a Triple Bypass at Banner Desert Hospital.   I am posting some new pictures please help Ken with some kind of donation or you can
A friend of his was helping him make ends meet for the past months, but has decided to go her own way when he needs the help the most!
Please spread the word!

If 10,000 people donate just $.50-that would equal $5000.00!!
Please consider helping out.  Encouragement, suggestions and Comments are always welcome too!
Thank you so so much!!!
Sincerely yours,
Dusty and Dusty's Helper!
