Saving my life; I am a 73 year old grandfather
Donation protected
I am a 73 year old paraplegic grandfather of two granddaughters Juliet Mae and Cosette Lilian and one grandson Brady Ellias. Juliet the eldest is four years old.
My intention is to survive the Corona virus--where I am at high risk of dying because of my age and rotten health.

As a survivor of cancer four times, most recently in January, and as a disabled man living in rural Pennsylvania (where the dangerous health care system resembles that of third world countries, the only chance of my surviving the pandemic is to leave Lycoming County and relocate to New York City.
On Friday, December 11th, I have an appointment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City with kidney surgeon Paul Russo. Eight years ago, through his talent and vast surgical experience Dr. Russo removed the large cancerous tumor that surrounded my right kidney. Dr. Russo also rebuilt my right kidney so I am years later alive and was able to give each of my daughters away in marriage and to see my grandchildren.
