help john kalyan (and laura fisher)

hey e'rybody. for anyone who works with their body, we all know the fear and threat of getting hurt on the job. it really isn't an if, but more of a when will it happen. john kaylan, who works for himself as a carpenter, fell this week and will require surgery to repair the damage. this couldn't have happened at a worse time as he and laura were just coming off of a financial setback that depleted their rainy day fund.

let me just say: there are people that you meet and when you walk away you ask yourself "holy @$%*, is he really that nice of a person?! john is that. just the sweetest dude. just a straight-up mensch, always kind, always caring, always helpful.

first, he has to be off his feet while waiting to heal enough for reconstructive surgery, then will be out of work for 6 to 8 weeks in recovery. he is the main breadwinner of the household. this is all of us who are self-employed's worst fear. if you can help at all, it would be greatly appreciated
