My brother is currently in a coma at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. He is dying and he does not have a chance at recovering according to doctors.

The most recent MRI showed little to no brain activity along with unrepairable damage caused by a series of strokes and hypoxia from unconsciousness.

I need to make it out to California from Denver so I can say goodbye and so I can arrange final decisions with his doctor's.

The Dr. has told me that he may not last long, and I need to say goodbye to him while he's still hooked up to life support and living.

I really need to fly out to San Francisco/San Jose within the next 24-48 hours. I also need money to use for hotel and food while I am out there.

Erica Herrin, my fiance, his lifelong friend and my main support holding me up at the moment, also needs to come with me. Not only to support me emotionally, but also to be able to say goodbye to a friend she has known since middle school.

Chad Schneidewind also needs to go with us. Chad is Brett's life long best friend, and also mine as well. Brett flew out to see him when he was in ICU for a month, and Chad feels he needs to be there to say goodbye to him and to help prop Erica and I up as a tripod-like support system.

Brett will not be coming out of this, and it is to the point to where timing is critical.

Please donate as much as possible and please respect Brett's and my privacy. Let me get through the next few days before flooding me with questions about the situation we all have been put in. It's hard enough to sleep without being inundated with constant phone calls of support and inquiry. I need my phone lines open and my quiet space as I deal with what lies ahead. If you donate I promise to give you some of my time after everything quiets down next week to give you more detailed information about the situation that has been transpiring since New Year's Day.
