Many Come Forward to Aid Schaeffer

TWU Local 100 Vice President for Rapid Transit Operations Eric Loegel has been in touch with Alan Schaeffer, the father of Conductor Ben Schaeffer, who has been fighting the coronavirus at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn.

Mr. Schaeffer said a huge number of donors have come forward in response to our appeal, and Brother Schaeffer received donated plasma as a result. He is still on a ventilator and fighting the virus. One of those donating was Track Worker Mike Galas. TWU Local 100 thanks him and all other who have stepped up. We will keep you posted as to Brother Schaeffer's condition.
