Greetings ladies and gentlemen, sisters and brothers. I, Armando Avalos, I.B.E.W. L.U.617 card #6317432, am reaching out for help in contributing towards our brother, Mr. Robert Simon and his family. Rob fell ill over the holiday.

Robert has a serious spinal cord infection. Since he was hospitalized on December 22, he got a staph infection, collapsed left lung, has a chest tube in his lung, he has afib, and is on blood thinners because of the immense swelling in both feet and his left arm.

Robert is going to be hospitalized for the next 100 days or so and coverage stopped December 31.

That is it in a nutshell. Every little bit helps, even if its just a phone call or text message. Thank you.
