Hello All St Leo Friends!
I’m sure most of you are aware of how our dear friend …. and yes…. “professor”, Dennis Phillips’ wife Karen has been dealing with many medical issues the past few years. Currently, Karen is going through Hyperbaric Treatments to treat deterioration of her jaw bone. The co-pays for these treatments are quite high. So, a few of us, Kenny Ekalo, Jim Kauss and I thought it made sense for us to reach out to our friends to help support Karen & Dennis while they are going through this.
So, we set up a GoFundMe account for them. The funds go into a secure account and only Dennis will be able to access the funds. We are setting a modest goal of $5,000 but of course our hope is to surpass this because we all know how medical bills and additional care can pile up.
Of course, we ran this by Dennis first. As expected, Dennis was a bit reluctant, but understanding this is coming with tremendous love and gratitude, he was willing to accept our support. One last thing, out of respect for Dennis and Karen’s privacy, let’s keep this among our group. If you are personally communicating anyone in the group who are not that active, perhaps you may want to contact them and ask them to check on on the group. Certainly, if there is someone outside the group how would like to participate, let us know and we will work that out!
GO MONARCHS!
