Please, Help me help my Brother....

Since my brother was 14 years old he has worked hard.  With a heart as big as Texas and a compassion for his family and friends that knows no bounds, to say he is a wonderful person would be a gross understatement...Just ask any of his hundreds of lifelong friends.  If you have met him, you love him...he truly is "that guy".  Last year he lost his job of 22 years...along with that job went a huge part of his pride, confidence and literally his health...facing life threatening illness, with no insurance, he has depleted all of his savings. My brother is a proud man...he would never ask for help. My nephew and niece (his only children) have pitched in and done everything they can to help emotionally, physically and financially.  While my brother has struggled with serious bouts of depression in addition to his physical illnesses, he has somehow managed to remain positive and leaned on his faith in Jesus through it all.   However, every man, no matter how strong, no matter how loved, and no matter how determined to provide for their family, have their breaking point...I fear my brother has reached his...with the financial wolf LITERALLY howling on his door step, this is an attempt to offer his family, friends, relatives, or loving compassionate people of the world an opportunity to help me help my brother.  He doesn'tknow about this account, and good Lord's willing he never will....because he would be furious...he would never ask for any help financially from anyone...even his own sister...However, desperate times call for desperate measures...if he doesn't raise at least $5,500 in the next month there is nothing but grim, desperate, hopeless and dark days in his immediate future.  Coupled with the fact that my 19 year old nephew, who has been working 16-18 hour days to attempt to offset some debt/medical bills, recently sustained a broken foot, had to undergo surgery, and now he too, is out of work as well.  If you are able to help him at all I pray God bless you for it...if you can't help him financially, then PLEASE, say a prayer for him...God can and does work miracles...I know this because it is a true MIRACLE that he has come as far as he has...thank you one and all in advance.
