Support Howard Harder’s medical recovery journey

Donation protected
Howard has made a huge impact in our community over the years, he has even been a father figure to hundreds of youth. Many people simply know him as “Civic Center Howard”, others call him “Butcher”. One thing we all call him is “friend”. Howard has always given his all to help everyone in our community. Now it’s time for all of us to give him OUR all as a community.
On top of having a brain bleed/stroke in October 2023, he was hospitalized in December 2023 for a blood clot in his lung, then again in July 2024 he ended up in the hospital for a very scary bout with sepsis, Howard has now suffered a heart attack.
Howard and Mary have been overwhelmed with medical bills over the past 18 months. Some have gone to collection agencies. Now they’ll have even more.
I made this fundraiser to not only help out with medical bills, but to show Howard just how much we all love and appreciate him! Let’s help give him the break he deserves!

Please give what you can and share to help me spread the word.
Mary’s cashapp (if you’d like to co tribute that way) is $MBHarder
