A Little Help from My Friends

Below is a copy of Sharan A Lutz' e-mail message, regarding a little help from my friends (leave donation). Sherrie is a Flight Data Communications Specialist at Indianapolis (ZID) Air Route Traffic Control Center.

HELLO EVERYONE,

I'm writing because as the subject line says I need "a little help from my friends". As some of you may or may not know I have been on Medical leave for the past several weeks and may need longer. I am suppose to be on the leave donor program but the payroll department headquarters did not show it as of yet but our local HR said that I was on it. They also said something was to be in the ZID newsletter but don't know how widely it is distributed anymore. I'm also not aware of any bulletins being posted in the reading binders either.

This is very humbling to ask you all for help but I am very much in need of help and being treated by my doctors and running tests as well. You have all been my friends for some time now and some are contractors (I'm not sure that makes you eligible to donate) but I would like to ask for your help and for your thoughts and prayers. I and my family are going thru a very difficult time and it is very painful to discuss it here in an E-mail. But, I am doing it because you are my friends and I know that you care about me and I am thankful and grateful for that.

For those of you in NAGE I don't know if you have received notification either that I am in the Voluntary Leave Donor Program either.

I just want to thank you for your time and consideration and thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Thank you! Sherrie
