 Our friend Don White needs your help. On November 20, 2025, Don suffered a massive aortic dissection, leaving him in the intensive care unit for several months. The majority of people with this type of cardiac injury do not survive long enough to make it to the hospital, let alone survive the surgery. After beating the odds of a risky, 6-hour, life-saving operation, his recovery has been slow but steady. He was in a coma for over a month and suffered serious complications. He remains in a rehab hospital in Massachusetts with very low mobility, and it looks like he will remain in rehab for several months to come. After the operation, the hospital staff gave him the nickname “one in a million.” After seeing how he has dealt with the complications, they have changed it to “one in five million.” Anyone who knows Don knows that his strong will and determination will get him through this. It will just take time.

 Don is a beloved and important member of our music community, and he needs your help. <strong>Insurance didn’t cover the range of expenses related to travel, recovery care, lost wages, and out-of-pocket medical expenses.</strong> His family has been able to manage these first 8 months, but the finances are draining quickly. I’m asking the community and those who know Don and his decades-long commitment to bringing joy into our world with songs and stories to help him with financial support so that he can keep doing the amazing work he has been doing with us for so long.
