Help for Joe & Kim McCarty

Don protégé
Joe McCarty is one of those unselfish people that dedicated his life to saving others...because that's what Firefighters and EMT's do....they put others lives before their own.  In 2006, while responding to a 911 call, he was poisoned with various toxic chemicals.  Shortly thereafter, his first stroke, a silent stroke happened in 2007.  Stroke #2 was 2008 and the Stroke #3 that paralyzed him was in 2009.  Stroke #4 was 2010 and Stroke #5 was just a few months ago in 2018.  Joe has been on long-term disability because he cannot perform the daily duties of a fireman.  Imagine the devastation of going from being healthy, making a living helping others to then having your own life destroyed because you responded to another's 911 call for help.   

Recently, Joe's LTD was terminated by the insurance company.  They think he can work.  This is not true.  For anyone that knows Joe & Kim, weekly hospital visits are the norm.  Joe suffers from debilitating headaches, paralysis on one side of his body and various other illnesses.   The McCarty's have had to hire an attorney to fight for what he is entitled to.  This can take up to a year to resolve.  Joe & Kim are not people that ask for help, so I am asking for them.  This is a huge hit to finances that are already compromised due to his LTD status.  If you can spare a few dollars to help them get by, I know it would be greatly appreciated.  While Kim works f/t, she often has to leave to take Joe to the hospital and her income alone is not enough to sustain them.  I've known them for 6 years now and they are good people, please consider helping.  Thank you for reading this.
