"Whoever Saves a Life Saves the World" (Talmud Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5)
So I told you a little about Ian's story when I first met him. Here's an update that I added: https://www.annarchy.com/single-post/2020/04/17/My-friend-Ian
Ian and I have remained in touch over the past two years. He has since been allowed to stay in the US and recently had his fingerprints taken and had his work authorizations approved.
I tried to call Ian on March 31st, and he did not reply. I tried to call him last week and his phone had been disconnected. I waited a few days figuring that the phone bill hadn't been paid. I tried him again this morning and nothing. I got really worried. So I started reaching out and sent emails to his former attorneys in Ocilla, GA. I sent 4 emails when I finally received an email that wasn't an auto-reply when an attorney sent me his immigration attorney's information who is based in Atlanta.
Because of her, Ian and I were reconnected this afternoon but only to hear that three weeks ago, he had collapsed and had been brought to a South Carolina hospital. He has tested positive with C*O*V*I*D*1-9 and, additionally, the doctors have told him that although they are trying to save it, they may have to amputate his other leg; he is already a single amputee. Ian just turned 66 in mid-March.
This is not the best time to ask for money but I want to at least try to help him. Please forward this to as many people as possible. Any amount of money at all with help him. He lives in a trailer and was unemployed prior to his hospitalization.
