Please dig deep for Brett and his family

As we all know, Brett Grant is in serious condition at City of Hope hospital in Los Angeles following complications from cancer surgery.

Kathy and the family are suppporting Brett as best they can. This means frequent trips to LA for Kathy and the children as well as keeping the home fires burning in Las Vegas, and a consequent heavy financial burden.

We all want to do whatever we can to help the Grant family in this hour of critical need. Friends have set up a donation account for Brett and his family. Anyone can deposit into it at any Wells Fargo branch. The account is in the name of Kathy Grant and the number is 1940733734.

Please dig deep to help the family of our brother Rotarian and one of the brightest lights of our Rotary club. Let us pray that it will not be too long before he is back among us with his characteristic humor and charm; and back in the bosom of his precious family, for which he is such a wonderful dad.

As Rotarians, we are generous in working to help needy people near and far. Brett Grant is one of our own.

Greg Kinkead stepped up early in response to a request for help for Brett. Greg has offered to host Kathy and her family at his condo in Orange County when they are in California. His generosity goes a long way to help the family deal with the high cost of accommodation there. Many thanks, Greg.

Please pass on this plea to anyone who knows Brett.

Meanwhile, Rick Jakle continues to update us on Brett's condition with this encouraging news:

Friends:

Talked with Brett’s father last night. He said they had somewhat reduced his sedation and Brett was slightly responsive to voices. Infection appears under control. They are encouraged, but emphasized there’s a long way to go before he’s completely out of the woods.
