How's Wayne?

Thank you to the many people who have found it in their hearts and wallets to contribute to the Fund for Wayne Janak. I spent some time with him in New Orleans in April, and he really appreciates the help, and feels the love.

So, how is Wayne?
He's charging along, trying to deal with the labyrinth of doctors and other medical service providers to diagnose and then find the right course for his condition. He has had up days, he has had many down days. He lost his boxer, Hannah, on Easter Sunday, and this weighed heavily on him. Miraculously, she was returned to him a month later, bedraggled and skinny, but very mend-able. She's doing fine now, and Wayne's spirits are lifted by this.

The oxymoron that is called Medical Services has been difficult for Wayne, and he's no farther along in diagnosis or treatment than he was 2 months ago. On July 10, two days before his birthday, he goes back to a doctor to determine what his next steps are. This is a long, dragged out process, and anyone who has had a serious illness and NOT had medical insurance knows what a tangled mess this can be.

Work for him is difficult - the jobs aren't there and he often doesn't have the energy for it. So it's time again to ask for a little something to help keep him in his house another month. If you have any amount you can spare, click the "Donate" button on this page, or checks can be made payable to “The Fund for Wayne Janak”, care of Seran Williams. Email me for the address to send your donation.

Here are a couple of recent shots of Wayne, in his best element - around his friends.



Enjoy, and keep in touch!
