we do our jobs.

Brothers,
 
BJ. Haynes is battling a rare Cancer of the Blood.
 
He has been of out work for a few months now, and their is no date in sight for him to return.
 
To date he has not received his Railroad Retirement Benefits:
 
I am asking anyone who can spare anything to help out the Haynes family to do so, it would be greatly appreciated by BJ and his family.
 
If you wish to give a donation, you can put it in either my locker in South Kearny it is locker # 43, or in North Bergen locker # 60.
 
BJ is out of the hospital and home resting comfortably, but the bills are mounting up. He is taking phone calls now and I know that he would love to hear from everyone. 
 
So please any donation that you can spare would be greatly appreciated.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
 
In Unity,
Matt Kronyak 

    

 

You know, two years ago we were talking about a Division Relief Fund for members of our Division who had problems. This is exactly the kind of situation that fund could have been used for.....
