Help Joshua Mompean to live
Joshua Mompean, the cystic fibrosis sufferer who needs a double lung transplant – a young man I knew since he was a little nipper – was released from Stanford Med this week and housed nearby to await a donor.
“He is still number one on the list and waiting for lungs,” Reports his father and stepmom Kim and Heather Mompean. “Joshua’s lung capacity is slightly higher than the 12% he was admitted to ICU with, however, he is constantly on oxygen and still in dire need of the lungs.”
Josh also needs money. He’ll have to live an apartment in pricey Palo Alto for months to be near Stanford Med as he recovers from the transplant. If you eat at BJs Brewpub this Monday, February 8th, they’ll donate 15 percent of your tab, if you just give the server a Josh flyer when paying.
Flyers are available at:
Replay Records – 7560 Pacific Ave.
Exotic Java – 526 W Benjamin Holt Dr Ste. A
Cesar Chavez Library Community Board – 605 N. El Dorado Street
and by contacting Heather Mompean at (209) 244-4549.
