Our friend and IATSE Local 52 Brother Russell Bouchelle has suddenly found himself unable to work after a tumor was found in his brain.

Last week, Russell had open brain surgery to remove the tumor. He faces additional procedures and treatments in the months ahead. The tumor's location affected his motor controls, including walking and using his arms. Unfortunately, he is unable to work for at least 3 months.

Theirs is truly an NYC film/tv family. Russell's wife, Chrissy, is a long-time member of IATSE Local 764, and his mother-in-law Carol Kuhn is a member of the Theatrical Teamsters Local 817.

Russell and Chrissy have two beautiful young children, Cassian Fox (4 years) and Leiapold Starling (10 months). Chrissy has been focusing on raising their kids, and Russell has been the family's sole income earner. Now they need our help.

If you can, please contribute to help the Bouchelles get through this challenging time. Any amount will help, and everything is truly appreciated.
