Subject: Barney Kessel Needs Your Help
Message:
I just received this message. I'm sure any help that you can offer Barney and his wife would be greatly appreciated:
'Legendary jazz guitarist, Barney Kessel needs your help. He was diagnosed
with terminal brain cancer in November 2001. He had surgery, Gamma knife
radiation and therapy to rehabilitate him enough so he could come home in
late January 2002. The radiation slowed the growth of the very aggressive
non-operable tumor (anaplastic astrocytoma). Barney requires 24 hour home
care and therapy. He is almost blind, but he is able to still talk a little
on the phone and receives visitors and enjoys listening to music. Barney
has no life insurance. He has not worked in over ten years due to a massiv=
e
stroke. His Social Security covers his rent. His wife, Phyllis works full
time and her entire salary goes towards Barney's care.
Please send all checks to:
MRS. PHYLLIS KESSEL
4445 North Ave.
San Diego, CA 92116-3940
Please note: ALL monies are going directly to the source who needs it (not
like other charities).
