Hi, my name is Henry Miklas. With my wife Alice and my sister in law Fran Gaughan we are looking to help our nephew Jonathan Cataldi who has a rare blood clot disorder which has damaged his liver, pancreas, his intestines and his entire stomach. He is 31 years old and has just had a quadruple transplant of all those organs. The operation took 16 hours and he is the first person in the US to receive this procedure. He has been in the hospital since March and will be there for a few more months while recovering. Once he is home he will have to travel 3 to 4 times a week to see doctors. Travel time is 1 1/2 hours away (without traffic LOL) and parking is in excess of $30 per day.

We would like to help the family out with excess medical bills and travel costs. The family is under so much stress having lost their two older sons due to different but still highly difficult circumstances. His father Joe Cataldi has been with him everyday since March and continues to be there for him constantly.

Jonathan is a good person and wants to live and have a family of his own one day.

If you could help just a little, even with just the cost of a tank of gas, it would be greatly appreciated. Every little bit will

help. If not a few prayers would also help and would be greatly appreciated.

We would also ask if you would be kind enough to pass on this information to your family and friends.

The entire family thanks you for your consideration and your help.
