This is probably the hardest thing i've ever had to write, but the reality of the situation has steered us to this moment. Garth Baugh is the most charismatic, gregarious man i've ever met. He is the brother in law to my partner, Bernadette, and he has become one of my closest friends over the years. Monday evening, he had a massive spontaneous hemmorhagic stroke. We have been at his bedside since the very first moment he came through our ED, and the reality of the situation is that his wife, Mary, will need financial help while he makes his way, very slowly, back to us. His prognosis is poor, but if anyone can pull off a miracle, it's our beautiful, big hearted, smart ass bear. His four children and three grand children are patiently waiting for him to come back to us. Please, if you can, $10, $5...Mary will need a cushion for months while we pull this man back into this world. His deficits are severe. No movement on the right side, an occasional left eye opening and smirk, and no words. Last night though, while sitting as his bed side, i asked him to tell me, the name of the love of his life....his response was, "Mamamamamamamaa"...he's in there. I know it. Please help, if you can <3
