Dear friends,
Just two weeks ago, I met a Vietnamese guy over lunch with some friends at a Vietnamese restaurant. As we talked, I found out that he also worked at Honeywell but at Wichita Support Center. The guy seemed to be very polite and proper, to say the least. Little did I know that he was here for a brain tumor surgery the next day. Loc Nguyen is 34 years old, and just 2 months ago, his life was perfect with his beautiful wife, Angie, and three children. He was also a very good guitarist and electric organist. I asked him about his illness, he said that one day he felt some numbness on his right arm and right leg and did not know what it was until the doctor did a catscan and said that he's got a tumor on the left side of his brain. Since they did not have the facility in Kansas, they asked him to fly down to Phoenix for an operation with a specialist. Not knowing anyone in Phoenix, Loc managed to get a hold of a good friend of mine, Duy Bui, who before that day, was, too, a total stranger to him. So my friend picked him up at the airport and took him to the hospital the next day for his operation. A week later after the operation, the doctor said the test results showed the tumor to be malignant, located at the stem of his brain, and significant follow up radiation treatment would be needed. The radiation treatments would mean a minimum of seven additional weeks stay at the hospital. The long term prognosis would be depending on how Loc's cancer cells react to the radiation treatment. After the operation, Loc's right side is partially paralyzed, his vision is blurred, and his speech is slurred. Angie, Loc's wife, flew to Phoenix a few days after the surgery with the financial help of their friends and co-workers in Kansas for the airplane tickets and assist in caring for their three children (a 10 year old son, a 7 year old daughter, and a 4 year old daughter). At the risk of losing her job and having no vacation time left, Angie took time off without pay to come to Phoenix and care for her husband after the operation. Angie must go back to Wichita on Sunday 4/22 and return to work or risk more financial burden on the family. Needless to say, Loc and Angie are very much in need of outside supports, both emotionally and financially, to get them through this very difficult time. Hence, this letter to you - please save your prayers for Loc's family and if you could help financially, an account has been created at the Honeywell Aerospace Federal Credit Union (HAFCU) for this purpose, please make your donations to account # 295160-3-2.

If you would like to come by for a visit, Loc is currently staying at the Neuro Rehab Center at St. Joseph Hospital in downtown Phoenix. The front desk should be able to help you locating his room.

Thank you for your time and generosity.
