Help bring Peter Home Dinner at La Hacienda in Surry
Sunday March 21st 5-9pm--Help bring Peter home. Have dinner at La Hacienda at 601 Colonial Trail East in Surry, Va. 50% of proceeds go toward the Support Peter Judkins Fund. On Dec 9th, 2009, Peter Judkins entered Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, HI with back pain. While in the ER, Peter had a seizure and became paralyzed from the neck down and could not breathe. The doctors determined that he was infected with a severe bacterial infection (MRSA) that cut off blood flow to his spinal cord causing the seizure and paralysis. He is now on a ventilator to help him breathe and requires 24-hour nursing care since he cannot move his arms and legs. Peter is originally from Suffolk, VA where our parents currently live. He also has six brothers and sisters (mostly in Virginia). Peter very much wants to come home to Virginia to be with his family, but he requires an air ambulance with medical staff at a cost of $70,000 to fly from Hawaii to Virginia. His family needs your support to help bring Peter home. Find out more details and make a donation at http://sites.google.com/site/bringpeterhome/
