Help a Cancer-stricken Chef Pay His Medical Bills

This was in our local newspaper (Raleigh News-Observer) this morning, written by contributor Andrea Weigl. I thought I'd pass it along to this community:

A sad e-mail from Holly and Hamid Mohajer, who own Mo's Diner in downtown Raleigh. "Hamid has been diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer. It has spread to his spine, and most other bones in his body. He has not worked at the restaurant in some time and he has been going to daily medical appointments. Holly has been cooking, managing the restaurant, and accompanying Hamod to all of his apointments. In addition, Holly has been working a second job that provides health insurance... The health insurance for Hamid's illness has capped, and all of the medical bills are now being paind out of pocket."

A series of benefits has been launched to assist Hamid, and an account, Friends for Hamid, has been set up witht he help of Capital Bank. You can also send a contribution to Mo's Diner c/o Friends for Hamid.
