As you may know, Al needs another kidney transplant but is not able to get onto the waiting list due to dental issues/no dental insurance. Luckily two local dentists have donated their services to Al. Their names are Dr. Timko and Dr. Rawa. Al has started getting the very painful procedures, and even though it's been hard for him, he knows that it will extend his life by allowing him to get that needed kidney, his third transplant.
Al has asked me to ask if anyone would like to donate a panel to either Dr. Timko or Dr. Rawa or both, they are not in practice together. The theme for this panel drive is "People Helping People" The panels can be of any size, type, paint, digital, vinyl, etc. Al will personally deliver them to the dentists. His address is: Alan Checca 524 N. Chestnut St. Derry, PA 15627 USA Love....Jill

Jill, I'd sure like to help, but sometimes realities trump intentions. At the very least, I can send these wonderful dentists a thank-you card on Al's behalf. Can you provide addresses? Thanks.......

Thank you Jill. I'm sure Al is pleased with the support he's getting. Thank-you notes sent.

I can't begin to say thank you enough for the support I have received from my brothers and sisters, everyone keeps me going and this would be a wonderful help and gift if anyone could help me. I'm currently unable to work and make a few panels on my own. As I walked there halls I saw it would be a wonderful addition to the walls... A nice couple pieces of art they could see everyday as they pass by. I'm off this morning to have the first of four visits for this "process" it seems like one after the next but I'm knocking them down one at a time. It's been a hard road but I'm moving forward! Again that you all for your help.
