I am raising money to help my brother, Casey, pay for schooling costs
that are not covered by his school loans.

When I recently visited Casey we had a very good talk over some
delicious brunch. It became apparent through the course of the
conversation that he is struggling with grades, courses, work, family
and money. I thought to myself as I heard him pour his heart out until
his eyes misted over that there is only one thing on his list of
worries I possibly could do anything about. The money. And when I
impulsively reminded him the he should ask us (siblings, family and
friends) for help and I would be proud to rally everyone behind him,
he and his wife both broke into outright tears of gratitude just for
my sharing the notion. He feels like he can't ask for help, but help
and encouragement is all he needs. He is so used to helping, teaching
and leading everyone else its as if he doesn't know how to begin
asking for a shoulder to lean on. And who better to join together in a
huge, insipring rally cry than all of us?
He has a slew of extra costs with getting ready to take the boards. I
don't know how quickly we can raise money.... But I am putting this
out there to ask for ideas, encouragement and any amount of
help/support you guys want to give.
