CORNHOLE MEMBER & U.S VET LOSES WIFE TO COVID-19
Donation protected
A fellow Cornholer (Afonso James) recently lost his wife Shirley Ann Perez- James to COVID-19 and our community is devastated. They were a couple with their whole life in front of them. Now, Afonso is unsure what the future holds for him and his family. He was in the U.S. Army & Reserves in 1989-2001. Army specialists E-4 3yrs active Stationed Ft. Lee VA; Quartermaster battalion as 57E; Army reserve with 463 engineer unit as a 12W and Received Humanitarian Medal for being stationed in Mogadishu, Somalia 1993.
He pitches cornhole on a few different leagues and participates in fundraisers for the Veterans at QB Ball Entertainment Center in Middletown, NY. representing the Hudson Valley Baggers League. He also pitches at Dave & Busters in West Nyack, NY. Where ever there is a fund raiser, you can be sure that Alfonso and Shirley will be there! Even if it means traveling across state lines
NOW ITS TIME TO HELP HIM OUT with your kindness and goodwill. The collected funds will go towards expenses that were shared by both husband and wife. With one income, paying bills will be hard. This is to help the James family until a new life plan can be established for the future. Any denomination you decide to donate will be greatley appreciated by the James family. I am reaching out to fellow Cornholers because we are a very close family and stick together. Our sport is taking off and I want to show the country that we support each other.
