You Can Help (Soldier's Family needs help!)
http://www.blackfive.net/main/2004/10/you_can_help.html ^

Posted on 10/31/2004 9:10:21 AM PST by hipaatwo

Sergeant Joseph Bozik, an Airborne Soldier with the 118th MP Company (Airborne) from Ft. Bragg, was recently wounded. He has lost both legs and an arm from a landmine, is not not conscious and has many medical complications. On Monday, Sergeant Bozik will be flown into Walter Reed from Landstuhl (Germany).

Unfortunately, the family doesn't have enough money to maintain themselves in a hotel (let alone buy food) for an extended period. The Army paid for airfare for 2 family members and Soldiers' Angels paid for airfare for 2 two more. The Angels can cover hotel expenses for only three days. Fisher House is full so they have to stay at a hotel.

We need your help. You can donate directly to a fund set up to assist the family with caring for Joe. You can send donations to the address or call the phone number below.

SGT Bozik Fund c/o Centura Bank ATTN Aiko Raynor 14615 US HWY 17 PO BOX 74 HAMPSTEAD NC 28443

IMPORTANT PAJAMA PUPPIES PING!!!

A SOLDIER AND HIS FAMILY NEED US.

Can y'all spare a little to help this gravely wounded hero's family get to him? I know I would want to be with my sons if either were in danger. My contribution is in the mailbox waiting for tomorrow's post. Please consider being a part of this worthy cause.

See post #63. Pajama Puppies Litterati have been pinged.
I also pinged patriciaruth and McLynnan. Hopefully, we'll get a good response from these good FReepers.

My contribution is on its way. Thanks for the heads up Tonk.

If it's any help, The Eagle (from which the above article appears), is the newspaper for the Bryan-College Station, Texas area.

He's stationed out of Fort Bragg, NC - so perhaps that is why the bank is in NC.
