Help a Sheet Metal Brother

Brothers and sisters. My name is Joe Suppes. I am asking for a little financial help for a fellow brother Danny Witcher. Danny is a traveler from local 48 in Birmingham Al. I met Danny through our union face book page and found a person I had a lot in common with. Danny hurt himself rather badly in 2010 and is no longer able to work. He has severe back issues and surgery while poossible could actually result in paralysis. He is undergoing extreme financial hardship at this time. While he has applied for social security disability this is a very slow and long proccess. He is recieving nothing from our union and lives off of his wifes low paying job.  He has lost his home and vehicles. I am looking for funds to help him remain in his home and get back on his feet financially. As a person who has gone through a severe back issue I can tell you its a terrible misfortune. I was lucky, not the case with Danny. I greatly appreciate your consideration, thank you.
