Hi everyone-----PatM here.  I wanted to let you know that, as part of the Moyamoya Foundation, a non-profit charitable organizaton, I have hired someone, Doreen, who specializes in assisting people with permanent or temporary disability......even though the Foundation has not received it's tax exemption letter yet, we are prepared to IMMEDIATELY start providing assistance for people with permanent or temporary disability caused by moyamoya....although the Foundation cannot provide direct funds to disabled persons until we receive the tax exemption letter from the IRS, this employee is starting on a volunteer basis immediately, meaning TODAY.......fortunately for us, she was just laid off and is prepared to volunteer her expertise, pending the tax exemptin letter receipt, in dealing with insurance companies, municipal, county, state and federal agencies----she has a wealth of experience in ensuring that people get all necessary physical, vocational, emotional, and psychological rehabilitation at either no cost or at a greatly reduced cost (like a graduated scale based on family income)-----and she will be operating in all 50 states.......so, you can either e-mail me privately at psmartinlaw@aol.com or place a post on this thread, whatever you prefer.....I will get the information to Doreen and she will contact you directly to see exactly how she can help you....please include your e-mail address.  Doreen will be checking this thread and all e-mails from me and she will promptly contact you.....please e-mail me if you have any questions or concerns whatsoever.........Regards to all....PatM
