Hello All-- Our colleague, and friend, Joel Mattes, has fallen on hard times with a recent health scare that has left him and his family in a very difficult situation. For the last month, Joel has worsened as doctors try to diagnose what is plaguing his body.

On top of that, his health insurance has been disputing coverages and making the process difficult (and expensive!). During this time, Joel has lost a lot of energy and has been unable to work. Please consider donating to Joel and his family to help with medical and general expenses this Christmas Season. 

I will match donations up to $1,000.00.

UPDATE: Joel went to the ER this weekend. I will keep everyone posted (with his permission).
