A Message from the Berk Family

June 8, 2009

In the past week, so many people have asked us how they can help. Our family has been deeply moved by your thoughtful expressions and kind offers of food, flowers, and other assistance. Rather than ask you to help us, we’d like to suggest that you consider making a gift in Brad’s name to the Kessler Family Burn/Trauma ICU, the unit that has provided remarkable care to Brad immediately after his accident.  Funds collected will be used to help many other families like ours whose loved ones are recovering from serious accidents. Your generosity will touch our hearts as well as theirs. Thank you.
