Due to Medical Emergency, For Once, I need Help

Hi, I'm Chuck Van Riper -- I.m a musician/teacher/photographer/writer in the Brevard County area. I've been involved in the Brevard music community for decades. A couple weeks ago I was admitted to the hospital with a bladder infection and kidney failure. This required stent in the kidney and a catheter. Recently the bladder infection came back. I'm taking meds for it and slowly recovering. I will need 2 more operations over the next few months to get through this. Needless to say, I can't work or teach during this time.

I have always hated asking others for help, however this situation leaves me little choice. Any donations are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Much love ----- Chuck
