Hi, we are carpenter colleagues of Brad and we are setting up this fund for Brad's unexpected medical expenses. Brad has been in the hospital since August 12 with a staph infection throughout his body, especially in his spine and around his heart. He was transferred to Barnes Jewish hospital this past Thursday for a heart valve surgery and further treatment of his infection. Let's come through for him with help for his medical bills while he is unable to work. I will update this page as I receive information. We asked Brad for permission to set this up and he was very grateful for the support. Thank you.
