I do not like asking for help for me personally. I will always ask for others but I am at a point where pridea has to give way to practical reality. My father Ray Ranney is in critical condition at Kaiser Hospital on Ontario, California. Due to other family tragedies in the past few months, along with other unforseen issues, I am not financially able to make it to California and take the time off needed to be there for my father at this time. I have had several offers for help and I appreciate any help anyone would give. I am uncomfortable with this, it goes against my instincts, but life is not without its graces in the face of challenge. Thank you everyone for your kind words and support. Please do not feel obligated in any way, especially if you are not in a place to give. I love you all. - Justin.
