My name is Patrick Grant and my friend for over 40 years, Norman Morgan, affectionately called Pidim, fell and hit his back. Norman is a Lineman for over 35years . Two weeks later, he has lost the ability to walk as well as losing mobility in his arms and hands.

Norman is the friend everyone is blessed to have. He is kind and thoughtful, always putting the needs of others first. He is funny and jovial, the life of the party. Norman lives with his significant other and a son from the union in Jamaica .

Norman’s diagnosis has revealed that he has three ruptured disks in his back, which requires corrective surgery. Norman is his family's breadwinner and his incapacitation is placing a tremendous strain on his family. I know that Norman would have been the first to stretch out a hand to help someone. As a result, I am reaching out for help for my friend so that he can have this corrective surgery and be on the road to recovery to bring back normalcy to him and his family’s life.
