Hey Gang! We normally don’t like asking for favors, but this is a huge deal to us. Corey, is one of our closest friends and he needs our help. He is one of the most compassionate people I’ve ever met, and he has introduced me to the owners of several animal sanctuaries. Let me fill you in on what’s going on…
Corey has Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a lung disease. He was diagnosed at 6 months old and his life expectancy was only 8 years. Throughout the years, advances in technology and medicine have made it possible for people like Corey to beat the odds, and make it a lot further in life. He is now 27 years old…However, he was told by his doctors five months ago that he is now at the end stage of his disease. He needs a double lung transplant in order to live. He will be having his transplant in NYC. Insurance will cover some, but not all of the costs. The estimated cost for everything is around $100,000.
Our goal is to try to ease the financial pressure for Corey and his family once the operation takes place. It would mean the world to Chris and I if you can help us raise this money! His family put together a benefit for him in November, and I would love to hand them a check from The Vegan Zombie for $20,000!!!

Hi John, Does Paypal keep a portion of the money when you donate through them? If they do, I would rather send a check for my donation. That way Corey and his family get the full amount. Thanks for having such a big heart!

Yes, unfortunately Paypal takes a small %. You can mail any donations to The Vegan Zombie PO BOX 2322 Liverpool, NY 13089. Thank you.

I’ve donated and shared the video on Facebook. I hope that Corey gets his new lungs soon.

Wish I’d seen this before I donated through Paypal, but at least I’ve managed to get some money to you.
Good luck in achieving your 20k goal, and good thoughts to Corey and his loved ones.
all the way from Scotland

Have you thought about contacting Ellen to nominate a person in need? She would probably love to help out someone like Corey. They have a lot in common. Here’s the link to sign up
