ABC San Diego Channel 10 recently aired a feature on Torrey Pines Rotarian, Max Gurney, a retired 104-year-old Army veteran.
Max is a WWII US Army Veteran and served under General Patton in North Africa and Sicily and under General Mark Clark in Italy. After the war he had an amazing 45-year career with Pan-Am.
Max is living alone in his apartment in La Jolla CA and is fortunate enough to have home health care aids provided by the Veteran's Administration during the day.
Unfortunately, Max is alone at night and after two recent falls, his friends are working to hire home health care aids to stay with him at night.
A Go Fund Me site has been set up to help Max: https://gofund.me/d930ec128.
