Help Dan Levinson get back on both feet

Dear Present and Future Friends,

Two weeks ago, Dan fractured his right leg in four places while roller skating with our seven-year-old daughter. Dan needed emergency surgery to have a titanium rod inserted in his leg, and he's been instructed to keep weight off the leg for another month while it's in a splint. He been mostly horizontal since the accident and needs to remain so until the splint comes off. Following that, he'll probably have a boot, and it's uncertain at what point he'll be able to navigate the New York City subway steps (with his instruments) or be able to drive to jobs.

As is the case with many professional musicians, we live hand-to-mouth, and much of what we make goes towards the basic necessities involved in supporting our family of three. Up to this point - with a little help from our friends - we've managed to keep our heads above water, but Dan's inability to work has tipped the scales and we now need to reach beyond our inner circle.

Reluctantly - but out of a need to survive - we're asking for help until Dan is able to work again. Funds generated will go towards rent, food, utilities, medical costs, and other necessities.

Gratefully,

Molly
