Hello there. My name is Marc Fraiman. I am a father of 4, youth sports coach, a former emergency services dispatcher and a former volunteer firefighter/EMT. I am asking for your help.

I have been out on medical leave from work since March of 2025. I have been diagnosed with severe muscle and nerve damage to my lower legs, and I also had open-heart surgery. I am currently dealing with some neurological issues while healing from the heart surgery. I am going to physical therapy three days a week to help with this.

I was on FMLA, and my short-term disability has turned into me filing for long-term disability. Unfortunately, my claim for long-term disability is still under review, and I have not been paid my salary since May.

I am in a financial crunch. Besides the kids, I have some outstanding medical bills, have to start paying for my medical insurance out of pocket and an unexpected repair expenses to have my vehicle be able pass NYS inspection.

I am not one to ask for help. However, it was suggested to me that I come on here and see if there were some good people that would help.

Any little bit would help. If you’re able to help, I thank you in advance. If you’re unable to help, please pass my story to others. I thank you for that as well.

I hope you have a great day.

Peace, love, and happiness wished to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Marc Fraiman
