If you've ever been to Wichita City Hall, you may already know CJ's face and bright smile! He has worked for the city as a Custodian since 2020 and is also an SEIU 513 Union Member.

CJ is a hard worker who is unfortunately experiencing a sudden onset of unforeseen medical problems, [UPDATE: CJ has been diagnosed with Stomach Cancer] and thus, is missing paid time from work and has medical bills stacking up. Despite the extreme daily discomfort he endures, if he can arrive at work, he will. However, due to him trying to come in to work when he can, he has so far been ineligible for the VSL fund as it requires missing 22 consecutive days of work in order to receive compensation.

We are helping CJ make this GoFundMe to provide some financial relief for the paid time he is missing from work as well as any medical expenses. CJ has already used his sick leave and vacation time and has filed for FMLA.

The uncertainty of his current medical condition understandably has also caused a lot of stress, so anything you can give to help alleviate the pressure of the current uncertainties he and his family are facing is extremely appreciated!
