'LENGENDARY JAZZ D.J. HELEN BORGERS became critically ill, desperately needing a life-saving operation just as she lost her medical insurance and ran through her savings after being laid off by KJAZZ radio station in June of 2017 after 38 1/2 years. Helen is currently in critical condition in the ICU of Memorial Hospital Long Beach's Cardiac Care Unit, and her doctors are planning on performing this life-saving and critically necessary surgery as soon as possible once her condition stabilizes. However, it is estimated that due to the severity of the operation, Helen will not be able to work for quite some time-- unfortunately, her bills from medical expenses and living expenses are mounting at the moment when she has run through her savings.'
