Dear friends and family,

This coming Wednesday, November 13th, Lloyd (aka Joe Elm) is finally having total hip replacement surgery. All those years running and playing lacrosse and climbing around on roofs, hauling wood and carrying water finally caught up and this has been a long time coming. For anyone who lives with chronic pain you know how hard it is to get through pain that is with you every minute of every day and keeps you awake every night. Thanks to incredible technology these surgeries can really give someone a new lease on life and that's what we are hoping for! As some of you may already know we don't have any kind of paid time off or savings and so we are reaching out to ask for a little help covering expenses so that he can take the time away from work he needs to recover and heal properly. With time and care his new hip joint will last for many years to come. Anything at all you can give is much appreciated. Thank you and God Bless you.
