Blackhorse Trooper Needs Assistanc My name is Mike Winsauer. I am a veteran of the Blackhorse during the Cold War. Served in Lima Troop under Captain Bishop and ISG Ernie Ford. I then transferred to HHT/1/11 to compete with the Boeselager Team. When competition was over, I was assigned to B/1/11. While assigned to Bravo Troop, I also helped as an instructor at the air assault school on Sickles Airfield.I would like to ask a favor of the association. I have recently been diagnosed with End Stage Kidney Failure. Both of my kidneys have completely shut down. I am on dialysis 10 hours a night. I am continuing to work 40+ hours a week, but it is a struggle. Between very expensive prescriptions, the dialysis, and doctors’ bills, this has put a large financial burden on me and my wife. I am currently $97,000 in debt because of this. I am also going to need financial help with a kidney transplant. Even with my insurance, it is still going to cost around $112,000. I have started a GOFUNDME page to help with these expenses. Will you put a message out to the membership about me and request any help that we can get? Any donation amount will be greatly appreciated. The link to my page is below. Thank You, and Blackhorse!
