Michael McDermott recently lost a leg to gangrene and his friends and
family are working to help him raise enough money to pay medical and other
bills that are accumulating as well as help him purchase a new prosthetic
leg and modification to his car so he can drive again.

We are looking for friends, colleagues and family that are willing to not
only donate what they can but to also forward this request to people they
know.

This is a tragedy but we believe we can help him recover a normal life with
the use of a prosthetic.

Please help us in this worthy cause!

*On June 29, 2015 Michael McDermott woke up to find a foot swollen to three
times normal and colored, black, blue, purple and red. The swelling was
eerily creeping up his leg almost to the knee. Obviously something was
desperately wrong and he was rushed directly to the emergency room at
Huntington Hospital where the doctors determined he had gangrene and went
into immediate surgery where his leg was amputated approximately 8" below
the knee. The infection from gangrene extended up to his knee so his knee
was in jeopardy! After six weeks of extreme antibiotics the infection was
gone and a second surgery was performed. Doctors were able to save his
knee!From June 29 until today Michael has been a pillar of strength and
positive attitudes, still doing all he can to help other people every way
possible, he encourages openness regarding what is left of his leg and
although his ordeal is far from over, he has shown such courage as to show
others that no matter what happens in life, you can do extraordinary things
and move on with a good life. NOTHING has to slow you down for long, as
long as you keep that positive attitude. Michael is an inspiration to me
and others and now he needs our help.After months of helping me and others
in every way he could completely unselfishly, he needs our help, which is
why you are reading this on a GoFundMe.com
<http://gofundme.com/> site.Medical bills not covered by insurance and
regular bills are piling up, a new prosthetic leg is needed and his car
needs to be modified to allow him to drive without the use of his right
leg. Although his attitude and humor is truly inspirational, the financial
assistance he needs is very difficult.PLEASE pay it forward by helping my
dear friend, Michael McDermott, recapture a normal life with his darling 10
year old daughter, Gracie by donating whatever you can. $5, $10, $20, $100
or more will go a long long way to help this wonderful man recover from
this tragedy!*
