For those of you that don't already know Barts situation or maybe don't know him personally, Bart was hospitalized in late September with West Nile Virus. He just recently was transferred from ICU to therapy after spending a good portion of his time on tracheal intubation and most recently a tracheotomy.
Barts prognosis is good and will hopefully be able to go home in mid November. However, the time off of work has taken its toll on Barts family and finances. Vacation time has been used up and there is no income to pay the day to day bills that just keep on coming regardless of your situation.
As Barts friends and co-workers, our goal is to help Bart and his family  meet their obligations and to pay their living expenses until Bart gets back on his feet and can provide for his family once again. Bart is the kind of guy that would help anyone in need so we would like to return the favor. Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
