Helping our friend Ken

Donation protected
Our good friend, Ken, is facing serious health and financial challenges.

As you may know, Ken was attacked in August 2017 which resulted in a concussion and a mass forming on his kidney. He suffered another head injury just two months later before having recovered from the first. These injuries have left him struggling with many aspects of his life— he has difficulty with memory, focus, sleep, depression, stomach issues and ongoing pain. Although some of his post-concussion symptoms are improving. and the mass—which was first diagnosed as cancer—has been shrinking, he is not currently well enough to work. 

Ken has accumulated a large debt load and his creditors could force the sale of his house. The pressure of his financial situation is making Ken’s emotional and health problems worse.

We have all enjoyed Ken's hugely generous spirit. He has helped and supported all of us and he now needs our support and assistance.

We are hoping that you can help with a contribution. Any amount is greatly appreciated. 

***
p.s. Ken is adamant that if you have any debt whatsoever you must attend to that first before considering helping him. "Self-help is #1." :-)

p.p.s. As much as you might like to reach out to Ken with good wishes, lots of emails and calls might overwhelm him.  (His cell phone has been on hold since June so if you've tried to reach him that way he hasn't been getting the messages.) Please email us through this webpage (look for the envelope icon higher up on the page beside "Allyson Woodrooffe")  if you'd like to pass a message on to Ken. Thank you for your understanding!

**Funds raised will go into an account in trust for Ken.

**Please note Go Fund Me only charges credit card processing fees and will prompt you to leave them a tip based on your donation amount. You can change the amount of the tip to 0 if you don't wish to leave them one! (Although we're very appreciative of their low processing fees.)
