Kathy and Papa J have been in their Orange County home for 13 years, building a life filled with music, friendship, and community. Recently, their rent was raised to a level they simply cannot afford, putting their home—and the life they’ve built—at risk. Both Kathy and Papa J are deeply involved in the local Blues community, always the first to lend a hand or offer support to others in need. Now, it’s our turn to help them.

The funds raised will go directly toward covering the rent increase, making it possible for Kathy and Papa J to remain in the home they love. This means Kathy can continue tending to her cherished patio garden, and Bella, their beloved dog, can stay in the familiar surroundings she knows. Your support will help them avoid the stress and uncertainty of having to move, and allow them to continue being the heart of their community.

We’re asking for your help to keep Kathy, Papa J, and Bella in their home. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Please join us in giving back to two people who have given so much to others. Thank you for your kindness and support.
