This is for a very dear friend of mine for the past 20 years. Dean has been more than just a friend; he is like a brother. I met him way back in 1995 through work at Oakwood Homes, and we became as close as brothers. Through the years, we would help each other in so many ways, but now we've reached a point where I can't help more than financially. My friend is battling kidney failure and is in dire need of a transplant, so if you aren't a donor, please give it consideration. If I could give my kidney, I would in a heartbeat, but that's not an option, unfortunately. I want to help him with his finances since he has not been able to work like the person I knew, and bills continue to add up. I know things are tough for everyone, and if you can help with even $5, it would mean so much. I know not one donation will solve all the issues, but the only way we can reach any journey is one step at a time.
