Gerone Spruill's 50th Birthday
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jenifer Wofford and I have been friends with Gerone Spruill for over 20 years. He was my Oakland neighbor for 10 of those years. Gerone is one of the best people I know: he's a really talented artist and sweet soul with a scholarly knowledge of all things funk.
If you know Gerone, you know that he also has a real thing about birthdays. He is turning 50 in October. He expressed to me that he really wants to go to Disneyland for his 50th birthday since he has never been, but he has no savings with which to do so. He lives modestly and often runs out of funds for basic needs like groceries, so a trip like this is out of his reach.
I am raising funds so that Gerone can take the birthday trip of his dreams with a friend or family member. $2000 will cover two 2-day passes, 2 nights hotel, 2 plane tickets (or bus/other transit as Gerone prefers), and meals and incidentals for 2 days. Any additional funds beyond the goal amount will go to Gerone directly.
Gerone does not have a bank account; I will collect the funds and make travel arrangements and purchases for Gerone and his travel companion. I will distribute all remaining funds to him with full transparency and receipts for anyone who requests them.
