Gary's Farewell PLEASE HELP

YES, THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO. His wife is missing her husband. His daughter went to his graveside so he could see her prom dress. The hurt is crippling, and they still need support. THIS is where the thick of the struggle is, emotionally, mentally, and especially financially. We are very close to goal to ensure the financial burdens of burial and lost income are not something Gary's girls have to add to their struggle. PLEASE HELP. Your support is appreciated and needed!

**URGENT: GARY PASSED** Gary passed early on Tuesday morning with his wife at his side. He is finally at peace and out of pain. His wife and his daughter, who lost her Dad on her birthday, are deeply grieving his passing. They continue to need your support to cover his burial and memorial service. This is an opportunity to be a light and message of hope for a family that is hurting. PLEASE give. You can have a lasting impact on this family as they heal, and your kindness is the perfect way to honor one of the kindest people ever known.

**URGENT UPDATE** Gary has transitioned to hospice care after a brutal and brave fight against cancer. His wife, daughter, and various loved ones are at his side. As he approaches the highway to heaven, his girls urgently need your support. Please donate to help cover funeral arrangements and other financial burdens expected with his passing. Together, we can provide some comfort and peace during this devastating time. Anything helps. Thank you for being a light in their darkness; Gary was that for so many.

*UPDATE ON GARY* More cancer was found requiring intensive surgery only offered in select hospitals. Gary AND his family will have to travel, and those expenses as well as the more costly procedure need to be covered. PLEASE join us in what we are praying is a miracle for our guy. He's fighting with all he has...let's fight with him.

The room is still as he strums those strings,

Without thought nor care of what tomorrow brings.

For when he plays, his heart is shown,

The most beautiful heart I've ever known.

When I took this photo of Gary, guitar in hand in his living room just doing what he does and making us smile, there was no knowledge of the struggle to come for his family. Gary, at age 46, was just diagnosed with colon cancer. His family is facing unimaginable stress as they prepare for his treatment. In a situation where many feel out of control and hopeless, we have the opportunity to come alongside them and support them through this difficult time.

Your financial donation will meet many needs for the Gage family, the greatest of which is transportation costs associated with his daily treatments. The guy that never hesitates to show up for others needs us to show up for him. Please contribute whatever you can, and through your generosity, we will write a song of hope for Gary.
