On Thanksgiving Day our most kind and generous friend, Charlie Vang, had a stroke after driving around town to provide Thanksgiving dinner to less fortunate families. After his deliveries were complete, he collapsed on his front porch where his son (Terry Vang) found him and called the paramedics. Charlie regained consciousness the following day but did not regain complete feeling in his body. After failing the physical exam a few days later, the physicians have anticipated that he stays a minimum of 15 to 20 days at the rehab facility to undergo physical therapy.

When Charlie found out that the physicians are requiring him to miss work and reside in a rehab facility; his first concerns were the amount of time he will be missing work, medical expenses, financial expenses, and his family’s well-being. Charlie is the primary provider for his family of four and is stressing over the foreseeable expenses.

Charlie is the most generous person I have ever known and he has given to family, friends, and the community. From the day I met Charlie I have watched him provide and give without taking. As such, I am writing in plead that everyone and anyone give back to such a wonderful person. The money funded will go towards Charlie’s medical expenses and financial obligations.
