Support Fund for Mike Disanto

**nicko** · 01-14-2009, 10:34 AM

The Opticians Association of Washington, Washington State, has set up a trust fund for Mike to help in his medical costs. Donna Hatch is the coordinator of the effort. You may send donations to:

OAW
Box 2489
Yakima, Wa.
98907

Tor those that missed my posting yesterday, Mike is gravely ill with pancreatic cancer that has reached stage 4. If you aren't acquainted with cancer staging, the doctors have refused treatment. That should give you an indication. Mike remains positive and upbeat and is seeking out alternative homeopathic methods to battle the beast. Of course, without being able to work and with no health insurance, the financial toll will be immense. So please, if Mike has affected your life in any way, as he has for many, many of us, give up that latte today (or more) and contribute to this fund.

Thanks So Much

Mike needs our help. There will be several fund-raisers in the near future. Do all you can. Thanks Donna, and all the folks on the left coast for this.

Best,
Warren

Now would also be a good time for all of us to update to the new TOPS manual. And throw away any TOPS photocopies we have and buy new ones from Mike.

And the address, I wanted to do something for him to help, I will be sending some $ his way. God bless you Michael Disanto. I see adds all the time for Cancer Treatment Center of America, they fight the cancer not only with Traditional means but other means as well. I can't remember what state they are in.

Ginster,

You can make it out to the OAW (Opticians Association of Washington) and put on the check that it is for Mike.

Thank you so much
