From Pastor Ed Chandler

Dear Friends:

 

My name is Edward Chandler.  I am a United Methodist Minister and a counselor.  I am writing this letter to share a burden some of us have about a family that many of you know.

 

I am writing about Alan Klink, who lives in Crestview, Florida.  Sometime in July Alan will go to Birmingham, Alabama to have a kidney transplant which he must have to survive.

 

Alan’s daughter, Jessica, is planning to donate one of her kidneys to help her father.  All of that is settled.  The big problem is the astronomical cost for transportation, food, hotel bills and doctor bills.  Insurance will pay about 80% and Alan will have to pay the remaining 20%.  Conservative estimates are that he will need about $60,000.00

 

The Internal Revenue service will not allow us to give gifts through the church and count it as a deduction for income tax.  We believe there are many of you who will feel a real burden for Alan and his family and will want to give a gift.  They need your gift by May 31, 2008. 

 

Please send your gifts to:

          Robert Alan Klink Kidney Transplant Fund

                             Any Vanguard Bank
