Kids Need Gifts for Christmas

Folks I do not get on here much anymore, but I feel this is very important, as we could be in there shoes.
Troy Johnson a coonhunter that is only 30 years old had a massive heart failure. He has been a supporter of UKC for a long time. Troy went to the hospital couple of weeks ago and found out only less then ten percent of his heart is working. They cannot get his heart rate up to put a pacemaker in. They have tried medication, but today they had to put him back in the hospital.
Troy has not work at his current job long enough to get permanent disability until March. This week his place of work (which he works with hogs) hired a guy to do his work and Troy would set in the truck. He could not make it and had to be put in the hospital.
He has used all of his sick leave, and the kids are looking forward to Christmas, but with Troy and his wife Amanda they do not know where they are going to get the money.
We just had a little meeting tonight and got two-hundred dollars donated to help them from the members of the Boone Valley Coonhunters.
Sounds like Troy is going to need a heart replacement to live. He has used up all of his sick leave. We are trying to get some money up so the kids at least will have Christmas. Troy is the President of the Hamilton County Coonhunters out of Webster City.
I did not know if you have any ideas. Maybe folks got some extra toys, or send some cash so these kids can have Christmas.
