Frank Barto was struck with an extremely rare infection at the beginning of the year. As most that know Frank, the stubborn man that he is tried to push through and work until April when he was too weak to work and at points stand.  Frank ended up hospitalized for 4 weeks and then in Rehab for another 6 weeks.  During this time as you can expect Sue spent numerous hours and days at Frank's side often missing work herself. I was hoping that between Frank's friends, co-workers and relatives we could help them with some of their medical and household expenses as he continues to fight this infection and continues his rehab in hopes that he can one day walk again on his own.
