The Rob Benzon/Dan Ferbal Foundation approved a grant request for Eric A, who was overcome by very toxic fumes that burned his nose, bronchial tubes, and scarred his lungs from an exterminator using highly concentrated ammonia gas in his apartment complex.

 Eric has a long road to recovery. His breathing is that of a person with severe asthma and he hasn’t yet been able to return to a full work schedule, so he’s struggling financially to stay in his apartment and pay his medical and other bills. Our grant provided necessary funds to help keep Eric in his apartment while he recovers.

Grant Awarded in March 2025
