Many of you may know John and Kelly from Blue Frog Bar & Grill, Local 22, JoKeRs Cajun Smokehouse, The Village Bar, or Reggie’s — the places they’ve worked and called home over the years. Others might simply recognize them from seeing them walk their kids and dogs around the neighborhood, or from their cocktail truck at community events like Villapallooza.This past June, John was diagnosed with stage 4 T-cell lymphoma. The news was devastating, and the family made the difficult decision to close JoKeRs so they could focus entirely on his treatment. Since then, John has spent most of the summer and fall in the hospital, with Kelly at his side while also caring for their home and their children.
John and Kelly have always been the first to show up for others — now it’s our turn to show up for them. Any support you can offer will help ease the financial strain and allow them to focus on what matters most: John’s healing and precious time together as a family.
The Village has offered to do a chili cook off fundraiser for John.
Please join us December 7th at noon for an afternoon of fun, food and raffles!
