Dear Readers,

Today I have a wish to reach out to you. Recently one of our writers “The Grizz” has learned that his daughter’s life threatening tumor is once again growing. Three years ago, his daughter was diagnosed with a brain stem tumor. He and his family traveled out to Boston where his daughter was able to receive treatment that had managed to stop the tumors growth. However the prognosis for this kind of tumor is very poor, and it has once again started to grow.

While The Grizz does have insurance, there are many medications and associated costs that are not covered. Because of this he is reaching out and asking for donations to help his family offset some of the cost while once again getting treatment for his daughter. He is not asking for large amounts, simply for whatever you feel you can give. He also asks for your prayers and positive energy for his little girl.

To help him out I have created a special page here on the tech brief titled Serene Martens. You can visit this page to learn more and to donate whatever you feel is appropriate. Thank you for your time.

Feel free to leave some encouraging words in the comment box below. Tell your friends. Donate some money.

Win this incredible Garmin nüvi 200 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator which is a top seller and best-reviewed at amazon.com.
