Do you remember Joe Ortega as the Patients' Advocate at VA Puget Sound who fought so hard to get you the care you needed?
Got you a meal when you were 'tapped out?'
Who listened and cared when you really needed someone to talk to?
Or maybe you're a Mariners fan who remembers him from his days running the Diamond club?
Or are you a fellow Air Force Vet who respects his years as a C-141 Loadmaster?
Joe has had to put a hold on everything and is in a daily fight for his life. A fast-moving cancer has put all his future plans in question and after serving so many for so long, now he is need of our help. You can help. Why not take a few minutes and give him some support like he has probably done for you or someone you know in the past. Just go to http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/joeortega/guestbook and "sign the guestbook" with a message. Thank him for his service, tell a story, upload a picture - now's the time!
His family is going to need some help as they deal with the financial burdens of Cancer. If go to http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/joeortega or you can find a link there to contribute to his "gofundme" campaign at http://www.gofundme.com/HelpJoefightCancer
The important thing is to reach out now when your fellow Vet needs your support. Sincerely, Mary Nametka, CaringBridge site creator- submitted on behalf of Friends & Family of Joe Ortega
