Everyone's favorite bartender needs our help!

Donation protected
A few weeks ago, Mike O’Connell’s doctor let him know that he needed surgery on his shoulder and he needed it quickly. An MRI showed that the damage to his shoulder was so severe that the only thing that would help was a complete shoulder replacement surgery. After years of being in pain and increasingly unable to do his job due to the damage in his shoulder, he had the surgery done last week. His doctors have said that he will not be able to work at all for the next 4 to 6 MONTHS. 

He came through the surgery like a champ and is currently just trying to get through the very painful first week of recovery. 

He would kill us if he knew we were doing this, but he needs our help with living expenses during the time he is out of work. We all know that if bartenders don’t work, they don’t get paid. The doctors say that this injury is caused by repetitive movement at work, so it’s basically our fault for having him pour drinks for us for the last 30 years! Let’s help him out and get him back behind the bar as soon as possible!

Thank you so much!!
