In Today's Ottawa Citizen....

Page E4 (City Section) of Today's Ottawa Citizen presents another example of the need for your support. People like Tony Nicolitsis represent the very need we're trying to address.

Mr. Nicolitsis is on home dialysis. He suffers from stomach ulcers, takes six medications to control his high blood pressure, and is on another for migraines. He's tired, always.

And there are financial struggles, too. After paying rent and buying groceries, there's not much left. Bills are going unpaid.

"It's been like this for 10 years," says Ms. Duffy. "We never can catch up."

Christmas last year was tough. Mr. Nicolitsis' body was rejecting the donated kidney and he often missed work. But he and Ms. Duffy earned enough to cobble together a decent holiday for their daughter. This year it didn't look good.

Our thanks to the Citizen for helping raise the awareness.

And, when you get to the part about the Elvis Tribute night, remember our thanks to Randy Collins and Dan Burgess for donating their time and talents for the cause.
