Hi, I'm Stuart Paisley (Brian's son), writing on behalf of Erinne Paisley (Brian's daughter), both our mothers (Ti Hallas and Julia Menard), and for those who know and love Brian. 
 
<a href="https://www.gg.ca/en/honours/recipients/146-9234target=_blankrel=noreferrer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brian Paisley</a> C.M., is currently fighting for his life at La Barra Medical Center in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. On May 21, he suffered a sudden and extreme case of pneumonia which quickly became life threatening. 
 
He was admitted in a state of extreme dehydration, malnutrition, and dangerously low blood oxygen levels. He was intubated, as he was unable to breathe on his own, and kept in a medically induced coma. After two attempts he was successfully extubated but then required an emergency tracheotomy on May 26. Since then he has slowly started to come back. He opened his eyes, he tried to talk and laugh. He knows where he is. He remembers his family and friends.. 
 
The situation is still desperate, especially in terms of the necessary costs to keep him alive; in the ICU the cost has been $3,000-10,000 CAD per day. There is hope that he will be transferred to an “intermediate care” room very soon at which time the daily cost will be lower. 
 
When he is discharged from hospital, there will be much needed to support him in his rehabilitation process. There is genuine hope that he will be an independent, productive, creative person again someday soon! 
 
Brian has no health insurance. We are asking anyone who Brian has touched with his creativity, curiosity, joie de vivre and eternal optimism, to help us with the expenses that will be incurred to save his life. We appreciate every single donation. 
 
Brian birthed the very first Fringe theatre festival in North America in 1982, and has impacted the Canadian theatre and arts communities in immeasurable ways. Whether you worked in a Fringe show, or watched a Fringe show, that opportunity was because of Brian. 
 
He has much more time left on this earth if he can overcome this acute challenge. We think he has the willpower to do so, he just needs our help right now. 
 
We love you all, for your prayers and good energy. Brian has given so much to this world. Let's give back to him. 
 
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
