| September 2nd, 2009 LE: Ted Gatsas assisted cystic fibrosis patient I have cystic fibrosis. I've been fighting to stay alive for 36 years. A year ago, I was served an eviction notice. The house I was living in was going into foreclosure. I filled out the paperwork for emergency placement and was told there was a tow-year waiting list for housing. I was told that my only option was a homeless shelter. People with my health problems cannot live in a shelter. My equipment requires much space and my weakened immune system would not protect me from the bacteria and viruses in a shelter. Even in a very clean environment I still get serious lung infections that require hospitalizations. A friend of mine called Ted Gatsas, and Ted did everything he could to help. A short time later, I found an apartment that had handicap parking and easy access to my doctors and healthcare. It was because of Ted that I was able to move into my new apartment, which was approved for Section 8. I hate to think of where I would be today if he had not helped me.
