I am here to try and raise money for a friend and former coworker, Rickey Dale, and his family.

Rickey has worked for Superior Steel in Eugene for nearly 20 years, all while supporting his wife and two children.

His family has gone through a number of hardships. As a result, Rickey lives in his motorhome in a safe sleep site while his family is housed elsewhere. He works and supports his family and rarely ever has enough for himself. He is frequently out of propane to keep warm, frequently without lunches, but works hard every day so his family has what they need, which I personally have the utmost respect for.

The past few months, Rickey has been experiencing even more hardship, but this time with his health.

His heart is performing at 43% of its capacity as of his most recent visit to the hospital. Last week at work, he was taken by ambulance for a TIA stroke. He had a blood clot causing his left arm to go numb.

I have discussed the idea of this GoFundMe page with the above-named individual.

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go to Rickey and his family.

I really hope we can make something good happen for this family in time for the holidays. Please share
