Hi, My name is Jennifer, and I am fundraising for Mario East. Our beloved friend is starting his fight against bladder cancer. The following year he will need all the help he can get with bills, rent, travel expenses, and the tools he will need to keep supplying us with his beautiful work. Yes, he is still going to sharing his glass-blowing talents with help from a liquid oxygen tank!

If you have met Mario, you know he is the type who only makes friends and loves his people with all his heart. His laughs, joy and friendship are some of the most beautiful gifts he has given me. Let's help launch Mario's fight by meeting his needs so he can focus on beating this. This world needs the love of people like Mario, and now here is your chance to put your money on one of the best people I have ever met.
