Help Support the Gerard Family
As many of you know, our dear friend and well-known Broadway guitarist, Jake Gerard, lost his father Gary last week unexpectedly after several weeks in ICU with an undiagnosed illness.
Just a few short months ago, Jake’s 69 year old father was healthy and visiting Jake in Nashville. Our whole band, and many fellow Broadway musicians met Jake's dad while he was here. It was clear that Jake and his Dad had a very special bond, as they both shared a love of guitar and all things music.
Gary's passing was unexpected. Jake and his two sisters have been left with the financial burden of out-of-pocket expenses that come with such a devastating loss. Along with grieving the loss of their father; the hospital bills, funeral and travel expenses is added weight that could be lifted from the Gerard family with your help.
We are currently asking for donations to help ease the financial strain they face at this time.
Any leftover funds will go to Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Centre, Gary's favorite charity.
Jake and his sisters immensely appreciate the thoughts, prayers and support offered to them at this time.
