Hello Friends and Family. My brother-in-law, Gene Skipper, just celebrated his 45th birthday on February 1st, and now he is in the ICU with a medical emergency. Marina, his wife, is trying to balance being at the hospital with him, taking care of their three children, and working so they can still pay their bills. Gene is facing a possible surgery in the next few days but was told today he cannot return to the work he has been doing his whole life and will be forced to sell his business when he recovers.

If you know Gene, you know the amazing husband, father, and man that he is. He is always the first to help someone in need. I cannot think of a single time that we have asked Gene or Marina for help and they said no. Now I am asking you all for your help. Any little bit that anyone can give will help. Marina has so much on her plate. I would like to help lift the immediate financial burden if we can. Thank you.
