> Some of us have just learned that George's contract at Case Western
> University will be terminated as of December 2012.
> He is in dire need of health insurance (and ideally a job that
> provides that health insurance) as of that date.

> As most of you know, over a year ago George suffered kidney failure

> He is presently on dialysis 3 times each week.
> He is on the National kidney transplant list and he has hopes that his
> sister will be able to provide a healthy kidney in August/September.
> If she is ruled out for whatever reason, he will return to the
> National Transplant List and will need to stay on weekly dialysis
> until a transplant is completed.
> 
> His spirits are very low right now.  He is trying to imagine a
> positive resolution to the next chapter of his life.
> 
> If you have ANY suggestions, job leads, health care options, personal

> If you have people you think could possibly assist in this situation,
