Kevin's ALS

I'm Peggy O'Neal, and I'm raising funds for my son-in-law, Kevin Dozier, who has ALS. Also known as Lou Gherig's disease, it is a progressive and always fatal (usually 2-5 years) disease that robs him of use of his muscles. Kevin is a giver - a counselor to trauma victims, drug abusers, and families in crisis. He works for the state rather than earning a lot more in private practice, and on Saturday mornings is at the community clinic as well. He is active in our church and a deacon. And most importantly, this 41-yr-old is supportive of my daughter, who loves him deeply (as do I). ALS is an expensive disease, with exploratory medicines and many needs not covered by insurance, like adaptive equipment and home modifications. Kevin has lost the use of his left arm, and the disease is now affecting his right arm. While he is still mobile, he and my daughter would like to take the honeymoon they've waited 8 years to have, and while they're gone, I'd like to replace their traditional tub with a walk-in shower that is wheelchair friendly, and expand doorways to allow for wheelchairs. Every penny raised here will go toward improving his life while he lives. Thank you for considering our cause, and thanks especially if you decide to donate to improve the life remaining for this deserving man.
