Help Support John Pickett’s Recovery

Dear friends and community,

I’m reaching out today to ask for your help on behalf of my dear friend, John Pickett, who recently suffered a stroke. John is a Navy veteran, a committed husband, a devoted father of two wonderful daughters, a proud Texas A&M alum, and a deeply valued member of our church family. He has always lived a life of service — to his country, to his family, and to his faith.

Now, John and Kaori need our support.

The stroke has left him facing a long road to recovery, including therapy, rehabilitation, and the financial burden that comes with extended medical care. While John is determined and strong in spirit, the costs of recovery — from medical bills to lost wages — are overwhelming for him and his family.

Those of you who know John know his incredible generosity, his steady faith, and his self-deprecating sense of humor. He’s the kind of person who shows up — whether it’s to lend a hand, offer a prayer, or simply share a kind word.

Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

We are hoping to raise funds to help ease the financial strain on John and his daughters during this challenging time. Every contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated — and even if you can’t give, your prayers and words of encouragement mean the world.

Thank you for taking the time to support a man who has given so much to others. Let’s help John get back on his feet with the strength, dignity, and love he deserves.

With gratitude,

Mike Dougherty
