Help with James Hamel's Critical Health Problem

I am James Hamel, retired band director in Harlingen and ex-RV park office assistant among other things. Married to a super lady, Barbara Hamel. Father to Jeff and Brian. I hope there are those who might remember me from my teaching days in Wisconsin and Texas and my days in several Snowbird Parks in Texas. Oh, I also milked cows, picked rocks, and gave horseback tours at the Palmquist farm in Brantwood.

In the last 30 days, I have had a sudden and extremely painful collapse of my physical condition due to a spine situation called Spinal Stenosis which has made me unable to walk, almost unable to take care of myself, caused extreme pain and it’s taken away my ability to earn an income I am still in a state of shock that this came to be. Completely unexpected. We WILL find a way to fix it, but the financial damage that’s been done with neither of us able to work has led me to make this call for help.

If you remember me from the “good old days” of band rehearsals, football games, that Rose Parade trip, lessons in the practice rooms, which I dearly miss, I need whatever financial help you feel free to give. I am determined to resolve this in a few months but right now it’s really, really urgent. Thank you for whatever you think you can do. All funds will go towards essential care and to replace lost income. If not, could you please share this with all your friends online?
