So, I never thought that I would have to be the person to put one of these out. I just spent 16 days in the ICU at Kaiser. I don't expect to be able to return to normal life for a little while. I need some help to be able to get through. Food, insurance, expenses—you know the drill.

Anything that you could offer, I would be oh so grateful.

And as uncomfortable as this request is, I couldn't imagine asking somebody else to put it out for me.
