Subject: fundraiser for hospitalized doctoral student

Dear BBL Familia,

We have recently learned that one of our second-year doctoral students, Jerry Romero, has been hospitalized and is on life support.

Below is a link to the fundraiser his family has set up.

For those of you who have not had a chance to meet Jerry, he is an amazing person:  an organic intellectual, ever so caring and thoughtful. Both his peers and professors think highly of him, and we are hoping for the best as he battles this dreadful illness.

Please send a gesture of support to his family and make a donation in any amount.
