Have a Heart Transplant Fund for Chef Robert Hayes

If you know Chef Robert Hayes, then you've probably been inspired by his energy, warmth, and flair for food design & storytelling. He's taken many parties in town to the next level with his elaborate food displays and carefully crafted dishes. Right now he could use your help. He's fighting to regain his strength after a heart and kidney transplant at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. The past three years have been an immense challenge as he's tried to put on a happy face for his colleagues and family while struggling quietly with congestive heart failure. He never wanted to go public with his story until now for fear that doing so would signal an end to his career. No way is he ready to give up! He has worked full time up until time for his transplant in an attempt to save funds in advance of the surgery. After months in the hospital this year and multiple surgeries, he could use your help to meet his financial obligations. If you've ever had the pleasure of sharing in friendship or event planning with Robert, please consider donating. No amount is too small. Every little bit will go a long way toward helping us meet our goal. If you cannot donate, Robert would really appreciate your prayers right now. His doctors are pleased with his progress so far. The road to recovery will be long, however. Thanks in advance for your kind generosity!
