Hello this is Kimberly Ash a good friend and coworker of Michael Brindley’s.  I spoke to Michael today on the phone and he seems to be in good spirits despite him still being in the hospital.  He still has a few surgeries to endure and a very long and difficult journey to recovery. We are only about 1/3 of the way to the financial goal set to help Michael through this difficult transition.  Michael has been a great boss and a very good friend to many and I hope that all of you will continue to give what you can both financially and assist by reaching out to Michael to help with his morale.  I know I have committed to donating a little out of each of my paychecks until we have reached our goal or Michael is back on his feet.  Please join me in this commitment to be there for Michael in his time of need, like I know he would be there for all of us.
