Let's Get Eric Grilling Again
Donation protected
This is a story of selflessness -- of a man who is always giving generously, and now deserves some generosity in return.
My name is Craig Jones, and my friend and co-worker is one of the most giving souls I have met. His name is Eric Hutsler. One of his great passions is cooking on his grill, which he does not only for his family, but for his friends, neighbors, church and community. He loves grilling, smoking and classic Southern cooking. And he’s really good at it!
However, tragedy recently struck: While cooking a brisket on his basic pellet grill, a grease fire ignited. It quickly engulfed the entire grill, destroying it. This grill was the source of his joy -- a joy that let him make so much wonderful food for so many people.
Eric deserves not only a new pellet grill, but an upgraded one with safety features that would prevent such a tragedy from happening again. My goal is to purchase a Cookshack PG500 pellet grill / smoker. That’s what this campaign is all about.
Eric is deserving of your support. Here are just a few examples of his selfless giving to others:
* While stationed in Germany for military service, Eric raised over $70,000 to improve a community playground for local families.
* He and his wife have been foster parents to scores of children. They eventually adopted two children of their own, including a child with special needs.
* He and his family are heavily involved in their church, and active in countless projects to uplift their neighbors and community.
* For years, Eric and his wife have volunteered for Compassionate Friends, an organization that provides comfort, support and hope for families who have experienced the death of a child.
* Eric and his family regularly volunteer at a local charitable kitchen on Thanksgiving so that the homeless can have a proper Thanksgiving dinner.
* Eric is a coach for Miracle League, which provides opportunities for children with disabilities to play baseball, regardless of their abilities.
