Help a Legend Get Back on His Feet (But Not Too Soon!)

Hey All.

If you know my brother Dan Pelletier, you know he’s the first one to show up when your tree falls in a storm, your driveway’s buried in snow, or your garage band needs a front man who knows every song ever written and isn’t afraid to make up the rest. The guy lives to serve others, laugh with friends, and strum a guitar like he was born doing it — because he kinda was.

Well, now it’s Dan who needs a little backup. He was diagnosed with aortic stenosis — the kind that makes your main heart valve go kaput. He had open heart surgery August 6 and will be down for the count for 8 to 12 weeks. No lifting, no plowing, no chainsawing, and worst of all, no jammin' out on the guitar for awhile.

To make matters a little tougher, his beautiful wife has been fighting her way through her own health journey.

So here’s the pitch:

If Dan has ever made you laugh, trimmed your tree, cleared your drive, lifted your spirits, sang your favorite tune, or just been the guy you could count on — now’s the time to return the favor.

We’re raising funds to help cover basic living expenses and give Dan the time he needs to heal without feeling like he has to hop back on a ladder before his stitches dissolve. Every bit helps, whether it’s $10, $100, or just sharing this message.

Let’s give Dan the gift of recovery — the time to rest, heal, and get back to being the lovable, sarcastic, tree-trimming, snow-plowing, six-string-slinging legend we all know and love.

Thank you for loving my brother. It means more than I can put into words.
