Love – Hope – Optimism – Friendship

A true friend shines through when times are tough.  A true friend steps up to the bat and helps out when they are called upon. Friends, I’m calling on you and asking for your help and support.  One of mine and Brendan’s good friends is currently in a coma, due to a horrible set of circumstances. He was leaving a local watering hole in Encinitas, when two men who had been kicked out of the bar earlier were out for revenge and he was the unlucky receiver.  He was hit from behind and immediately fell to the ground.  He was severely injured, with major trauma to his head, which led to brain swelling.  He was rushed to Scripps La Jolla on Thursday night, where he currently resides. Today he underwent brain surgery to help reduce the swelling of his brain. Please pray for the best and that tomorrow will bring a positive change.
Eric is an amazing person, father of a beautiful little boy and husband to one of the strongest women I’ve ever met. It breaks my heart that something like this could happen to such a good person and wonderful family. It’s just not fair or right. I’m asking you, as my friend, to help out my other friends. Please click on this link and donate whatever you can to help with the financial burden my friends are enduring. Please pray, cross your fingers & toes and wish the best for the most positive outcome. Life, friends and family are so precious….kiss, hug and squeeze the ones you love. I love you all.
