Benefit Dinner For Steve Kellar

July 16, 2010 By eastwickpress

Friends and family of Steve Kellar will be holding a benefit dinner on July 24 from 4 to 6 pm at the Berlin Fire House to help cover the costs of unexpected medical bills.
Steve is a life member of the Berlin Volunteer Fire Co., Inc. He has held several positions in the company, is married, is raising two daughters and, until recently, worked full time.
Steve was recently diagnosed with a form of dying muscle disease and ineffective veins in his right thigh. This disease is a complication of Type II diabetes that he was diagnosed with several years ago. Due to this disease, he has lost his job, has no health insurance and cannot afford to pay for private insurance. So far two doctors have signed disability papers, and he is waiting for one more. Meanwhile the doctor bills are increasing.
The dinner includes barbecued steak, or if you prefer there will be a limited number of barbecued chicken, baked potato, baked beans, coleslaw, roll and beverage. The cost of the meal is $10 for adults, $6 for children 6-11 and $3 for children under 6.
There will also be a Chinese Auction and 50-50 raffle. You need not be present to win. Net proceeds will go to Steve to help pay his expensive doctor bills.
For further information, call 658-2924 or 658-2664.
