Your help is requested
Aug. 11th, 2006 10:01 amHello my friends.
I am writing to ask for your help. I Know that many of you know who![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beg1n is, and you know what he has been going through since February of this year. If not, Doctors discovered a benign tumor in his head. His MRI showed a mass the size of an egg. 3 days after seeing his MRI, Jeff was put into surgery to have the tumor removed. The surgery took 18 hours, and they were only able to get half of it out.
Since then, Jeff has been recovering, and has been healing from nerve damage to the side of his face that they surgery occurred on, as well as damaged vocal chords. Jeff is unable to talk normally, and due to the fact that he still has part of the tumor, he still has some issues with balance.
Jeff is scheduled for his 2nd surgery on the 23rd.
Jeff has been unable to work, and actually quit his job last year because he thought the stress was making him ill. It was probably a combination of the stress and the tumor. Jeff applied for Short Term Disability, and was approved, but that is due to run out in September. I found out that he could apply for Social Security benefits, but that takes some time to get answers. Jeff has medical insurance via COBRA but the cost as many of you may know, can be pretty high.iahklu has been very generous to Jeff, and helping him out with living expenses. Phil and I care very very much about Jeff, as I know many of you do.
Jeff is a very proud person, and would rather go without and suffer before asking of anything from anyone. Hell, I have to fight him tooth and nail sometimes to pay for a movie for him, or to offer to buy him anything. He usually looses, because I am as stubborn as he is and I love him so very much.
So here I am asking for your help if you can. If you can give financially to help Jeff out, it would be most appreciated. Since Jeff is not one for taking gifts, I will be accepting them, and getting them to him. This way he will just have some money to help him out.
If you would like to donate financially, you have 3 options.

I fear if I do not help, he may be forced to move back to Texas to live with his sister, and I cannot stand the thought of losing him from San Francisco because of financial reasons. I would do anything for Jeff. He knows that.
Thanks so much.
