Dear Business Owner and
Community Member:
I am writing to you regarding a
Medical Expense Benefit we are having for my friend, Jason Vandusen, the son of
Sandy Syracuse and Mike Vandusen. Jason is a fellow Grand Islander and was
injured on August 12, 2006 in a horrific automobile accident that took the life
of his dear friend, Andy Dlugosz. Jason
was in ICU for 3 weeks and remained in the hospital for another 8 weeks. Jason did not have health
insurance and medical expense bills have accumulated for this family.
Jason is at home, but requires rehab
at the hospital every week. Jason’s
mother, Sandy, had to leave her full-time job to give Jason the care he
requires. This benefit is to alleviate the stress on the family of the pile of
medical bills.
We are kindly asking members of the
community and business owners to generously donate a gift basket, gift
certificate, monetary gift or food for this benefit.
A bank account has also been set up at Citizens
Bank where monetary donations are being accepted in the name of “Hope for
Jason”, or, in the alternative, a check or money order payable to “Hope For
Jason” can be mailed as follows:
Nancy
Anderson
1607 Love Road
Grand Island, NY 14072

each and include food, desserts, pop and entertainment. Tickets can be purchased at the door, Island

Anyone wishing to donate a raffle
