I’m fundraising for my dear friend Gary Pappas. Gary has been involved in the Southeast Idaho music scene most of his life, and is best known for his virtuoso guitar playing skills. Gary is also known for his expertise in the culinary arts...he's a gourmet cook. He would frequently prepare enough food to feed an army, and always made sure that everyone was fed. These are just a few traits that makes Gary one of the most caring and humble people that we have grown to know and love. 

 Sadly, Gary’s health has recently taken a turn for the worst. He has been diagnosed with cancer of the throat, which has metastasized to his lungs. He will have to undergo radiation treatments, and most likely require life-long medical care. Thankfully, Gary’s fiancé, Shaade, is with him and caring for him during these difficult times. 

 Consequently, medical expenses are accumulating and are becoming impossible to handle. The man most known for his unconditional kindness and sacrifice for others, is now the one needing help. That is why I’m asking for your help in assisting Gary and Shaade, so they can focus on his treatment and care and not stress about the financial burden. Any support you can contribute to Gary and Shaade will be greatly appreciated.
