Nate and his dad in Pete's burnt apt.

March 17, 2007 So Pete is showing progress this week. He still has no short term memory but I feel like he knows who I am. He is still not on solid foods or allowed to swallow , but in a week or two he should be swallowing. The weird thing is , all his wrinkles and crows feet are completely gone, burned off. His face looks 10 years younger!! Very strange positive twist to his situation. He might be out the woods soon , still waiting for him to be able to swallow and breathe on his own=SOOON!!! Thanks for all the support and donations=close to $9000 !!!! - Nate Young On the morning of Feb 24th my brother Peter Young was in a fire. He was injured with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 30-44% of his body. Neighbors reported seeing him coming out of his apartment unharmed only to see him run back in to save his dog Little John. The smoke and heat over took Pete as soon as he reentered the apartment. Pete was found unconscious and burning by Brighton Police and Fire Department who rushed him over to the U of M hospital. His apartment was completely destroyed and Little John did not make it. Pete has no medical insurance or insurance on his apartment which he owns. He will be in the hospital for up to 1 year. I am asking for donations to help my family with some of the medical bills and the rebuilding of his apartment. I have set up a Paypal account in Pete's name. Please Paypal donations to Peter.B.Young@gmail.com Pete first introduced me to punk, psychedelic rock and noise - the music that inspired me the most as a kid. He also painted the cover for the first Wolf Eyes album released on Bulb. Without him Wolf Eyes may not have ever existed. I hope you'll help me give him something back. If you are planning on donating more than $100 please email us at Peter.B.Young@gmail.com and put "donation question" in the subject. Money orders and personal checks can be sent to Nate Young at PO Box 32601 Detroit, MI 48232 They should be made out to Nate Young so they can be cashed before expiration. Pete will be unable to do his own banking for many months and we want to make sure he receives all funds intended for him.
