My name is Leigh Gates and I met Anthony when I was 18, both working a party! We completely hit it off. He made me so happy just by his laugh. We have not stopped laughing! He has been there for me and my family for years. His heart is so big and he truly cares for everyone. It is why he doesn’t say no! I know he has touched you and your family/friends. Maybe he just served you a drink at a party, but he made you feel like the most important person in the room. That is his amazing gift!

Anthony started having some health issues a couple of years ago. You would never know because he doesn’t complain. He found out this summer he needs a kidney transplant. Luckily, Duke found a donor and he will go into surgery on Monday, August 11. We want to help him through this tough time so he can heal without the stress of rent and medical bills. I will keep you all updated throughout his recovery. Thanks for your help for our Sugar Lump!
