single dad of two incredible boys, twelve year old Christian
and eight year old Jackson Mojo. He is struggling to
(02:55):
make ends meets. Dangel is currently battling brain and rechel cancer,
and because he's battling receiving treatment, he's unable to work.
If you can imagine, the financial hardship he's experiencing is
huge here, impossible for him to make ends meet. We
are trying hard to keep his stress level at a
(03:15):
minimum and to keep the boys happy during this difficult time.
Dan is a truly deserving human being and I know
it would mean the world to him and the boys
if you could help their family this Christmas season. Merry
