[Everyone] URGENT APPEAL! Activist/Musician With Leukemia Faces Surgery, Needs Support!

[Geoff Carens]

Dear All,

Please aid activist & musician Chris "Max" Perkins. Max has chronic leukemia and is about to endure extensive back surgery, which will leave him disabled for several weeks.

To contribute towards Max's living expenses and mounting medical bills, click here.

If you live in the Boston area and can help check in on Max, shop or prepare meals, etc., please email brenda.o...@gmail.com. Support will be needed roughly between June 15 and June 30.

Background: A familiar face at Boston-area pickets and demonstrations, & formerly a stalwart of Occupy Long Beach, Max is about to undergo an operation planned to relieve his chronic back pain from an old work injury. He won't be able to take his regular chemotherapy immediately before and after the procedure. Max will likely be mainly confined to bed for 2-3 weeks. He urgently needs social and financial support. A talented carpenter, plumber and electrician, Max's ability to work is sharply limited by his cancer and back pain. He has thousands of dollars in medical bills and is getting calls from debt collectors. If Max's surgery goes well he could have a 50% reduction in his pain which could make him fit for work again. Please help however you can! Max has been active in initiatives including Black Lives Matter and is a strong supporter of Boston's school bus drivers (USW Local 8751) and MFA workers organized in the Museum Independent Security Union (MISU), to name just a few.

Please feel free to forward this email!

[Lange, Nick]
