Through my travels and connections in the local music scene, I’ve had the pleasure of being granted some amazing friendships. Some of you may be familiar with the band Blood of the Broken, and although I haven’t kept many of my promises to them that I have made, this is one I cant avoid. I have been blessed with the friendship of Zak Diaz, drummer for Blood of the Broken, and when I saw that he was in need, I figured it was time to stop procrastinating on IOS and use it for good.
Zak released a statement on his facebook about his 4 month old sister who has been on breathing machines since her birth requiring around the clock attention and medical care. He released this statement…
“Hey guys, I’m starting a fund raiser for my 4 month old sister, Willow. She was born on September 1st and has been on a breathing machine since then. These machines are keeping her alive. She has 24-hour supervision from my parents and nurses. Everything was going great until her insurance decided to drop her. Now they are threatening to take back the machines that keep her alive. I need to raise money for her so she can live. Please spread the word and find people that will donate. Tell your family, churches, friends, band mates, significant other and anyone who will listen.”
With the loss of insurance Zak’s family is now bearing all of the finical responsibility of trying to keep Willow alive. Without the help of the breathing machines Willow’s life is at sake.
Through his own efforts and the efforts of his friends, Zak has created a donation page to help raise money and save his sisters life. There will also be a benefit show in Willow’s name to help raise money for her.
