<div>I’m writing this on behalf of my dad, George Kenton.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This past Sunday, I rushed him to the ER for what we thought was just shortness of breath. Within 48 hours, we learned he’s facing a life-threatening combination of heart failure, undiagnosed pneumonia, sepsis, and now developing kidney and liver complications. He’s currently in the hospital indefinitely, being cared for by the incredible team at Desert Regional Hospital — and I truly can’t thank them enough. For working around the clock to save my father’s life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Right now, things are stable, but fragile. His body is working overtime to fight through a lot all at once. And while we remain hopeful, the road ahead is uncertain.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For those who don’t know George, he’s truly one of a kind. At 83 years young, he’s lived a vibrant, creative, and resilient life. He’s a prostate cancer survivor, and not long after that victory, he faced the devastating loss of his beloved wife, Kathy — my mom — to cancer. That battle wiped out their retirement savings, but it never dampened his spirit.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even in “retirement,” George worked three days a week at Walmart, not just for income, but because he genuinely loves being around people — cracking jokes, remembering names and the regular pups that come in with their owners, and spreading joy to everyone who walked through the door. Before that, he had a long, successful career as an art director, graphic designer, typographer, and artist. And over the past 15 years, he's quietly built an incredible library of artwork from his home in the desert — never stopping, never sitting still.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>He’s a badass, plain and simple. A kind, loving, loyal man who has given everything to those around him — often without asking for anything in return.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But now, he needs help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>George’s only income comes from Social Security and those few days a week at Walmart, which he won’t be able to return to for the foreseeable future — if at all. Between medical expenses and ongoing care, the financial burden is quickly becoming overwhelming. That’s why I’m here, reluctantly but honestly, to ask for your support.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My amazing girlfriend Autumn has been by my side through this, reminding me that it’s okay to reach out — that it’s okay to ask for help when someone you love needs it. And right now, George needs it.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Whether you can give a little or a lot, or even just share this with someone who might be able to help — every gesture makes a difference. I’ll be posting updates  as things evolve.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping me support the most extraordinary man I know.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love and deep gratitude,

</div>

<div>Greg Kenton
