Greetings to those I know and to those I would like to thank in the future.

A long-time Colorado carpenter working in the finish trade, I have been hammered by life's challenges ... heart surgery, contending with two forms of cancer, a lot of broken bones possibly weakened by prescription drugs and a recent severe table saw injury to my hand that will keep me not working for five to six weeks. All of this has depleted my savings.

So I find myself looking for donations to pay my rent and medical bills, and most of all, to persevere in the trade I love.

I'm not throwing in the towel, but I'm looking for your generosity to help me get back on level terrain. 

Perhaps you may know a friend to help  me spread the word. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank-you very much for your help.
