Marty Hurst & his Family Need Help
Marty Hurst who is 47, married and has (2) teenage girls, and has been a Texas Home Inspector for approximate 20 years is severly ill in a Dallas Hospital.
He has been in the hospital for a month now.
He has what is known as MRSA and is not responding well to treatments.
Due to having poor health for a few years now and with the medical costs his family is in need of financial help. Any amount of a donation would be appreciated.
His wife asked that all prayers be continued for them.
At the suggestion of Barry Adair (TX. Home Inspector) who has came forth and asked of what can be done to help out, the idea of a PAYPAL account has been set up. (Thanks Barry for all your help in this) Barry is spreading the word and trying to help out this family.
If you care to help out, you can go to PAYPAL.com
The donation account to enter is: Mhurstdonate@gmail.com
All donations by mail should be sent to:
Hurst family
1700 Lake Forest
Rockwall Texas 75087
which will be forwarded to his wife and family.
Thank you in advance from his family.

Re: Marty Hurst & his Family Need Help
Rick, I tried making a donation via Paypal but I am apparently Paypal inept and already have an account set up which I cannot recall and therefore cannot make a donation using the site.
Is there a mailing address where a check can be sent? Who should the check be made payable to?

Re: Marty Hurst & his Family Need Help
Sorry for you loss. I know it is easy to say and hard to accept, but please let me know if I can be of assistance. It is just a short drive.

Re: Marty Hurst & his Family Need Help
Rick,
I know we just talked on the phone and I want to share my condolences to you and your family and Marty's as well.
As I mentioned a card/support is enroute as of yesterday's mailing.
Don't hesitate to call for anything that any of us may be able to do to help out.

Re: Marty Hurst & his Family Need Help
Rick,
I've only been following the forum for a little while, but feel like I've gotten to know you guys just a bit, and have anxiously waited for better news about Marty. It is heartwrenching and baffling when something like this happens to a man in his prime. I'm so sorry for you and his family.
