Dear friends, responders, media, supporters and great Americans. I am writing regarding my close friend, fellow board member and 9/11 responder and hero. Vito Valenti who many of you know or heard about, and he is progressively getting worse. Vito has no idea I am witting this letter but when he finds out from the support you great people have given us, I am confident he will be overwhelmed with joy. With all the recent deaths and 9/11 stories in the news of late, it has hit home for us at the Fealgood foundation. This special man is getting sicker and will become another number of those who have lost there battle to 9/11 exposure and it's aftermath. I have seen many brave souls die over the last few years, and those deaths have hurt us here so very bad, but I can not and will not sit idle while my big buddy gets sicker on us with this disease that is killing great Americans. Vito needs a double lung transplant, and he needs it now, his legs are swollen, his heart is getting worse, and his fingers are turning yellow. All signs his time is near. Please if you care about your fellow man and American, then call your local politicians, media outlet, hospitals, organizations that help and anyone in Hollywood that would help. I am witting this letter, not as the president of a foundation that helps people but as a friend to you all who so desperately needs help saving a family member. As I cry with fear, my good friend is going to leave me and not finish what this foundation started out to do, I also cry with hope knowing if everyone gets involved we can save a life, a life and a man who dedicated himself to others while he himself has suffered so much because of that horrible day and it's aftermath. Please help me and Ann and our board members help Vito. This is not about donations or money but getting on the phone, the computer and making noise. Vito's email address is lego372@optonline.net and his number is 516 567 5446. Please show our federal government we will not sit idle, while their lack of compassion and accountability will cause more deaths to heroes.

Thank you. John Feal/fealgood foundation

Our thoughts and prayers are with Vito Valenti and his friends at the Fealgood Foundation. Please help make some noise for these first responders so that they can get the help and awareness they deserve.
