Spaghetti dinner to benefit COVID-afflicted residentPUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa A group of family and friends will be holding a benefit dinner at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Oliver Township fire hall for Charles Schantz, a Ringgold, PA, resident who contracted and nearly died from pneumonia as a result of COVID-19.
Im getting better, but its a long road; I have some scar tissue on my lungs, Schantz said, adding that hes still on oxygen and has had to learn to walk and eat again.
Schantz said he went to the hospital in April and had to be on a breathing tube.
They fed me through my stomach for weeks while I was on a ventilator, Schantz said.

We can only wonder why, and at whose request.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
