Please help Danny get some teeth!

My name is Bob Shipley and I have friend named Dan Cinquegrana. Dan and I have been friends for 15 years. We met at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Old Bridge, NJ. We have worked together on many service projects at the church throughout the years.

 

Several years ago Dan was diagnosed with CRPS - Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. CRPS is a very rare chronic neuropathic condition that causes intense pain. This pain has prevented Dan from working - leaving the burden of providing income for the family on his wife, Linda. This reduction in income caused them to lose their house and move into an apartment. Even with these set-backs Linda and Dan continue to be active in the church. Dan helps with the men's group and Linda is the primary handler for the church's comfort dog, Lily.

 

The medication that Dan takes, among the other side effects, causes severe tooth decay. This side effect combined with the their inability to afford dental insurance and the resulting lack of dental care recently caused him to have two teeth extracted. He also will have to have more teeth pulled and will require a full set of dentures. Due to his debilitating condition, his medical bills have depleted his and his wife's savings and the procedure to replace his teeth with dentures is estimated to cost $16,000.

If you're concerned about tax deductibility, you can go to our church website at www.gs4nj.org/give/ - choose my brothers keeper and make your donation there!

I have an anonymous donor who is willing to match up to $5000 in donations.  Please give generously!

 

I'd like to play a part in helping get his teeth back and I'm hoping you'll help as well.

 

Thank you in advance.
