Johnny Fletcher: Time to Rebuild.
Donation protected
Johnny Fletcher, the up-and-coming sensation, recently faced a life-altering accident that calls for our support.
While creating a mural, Johnny fell a harrowing 15 feet from his ladder, causing head and shoulder injuries, including a top tier concussion that has put both his livelihood and well-being in jeopardy.
Johnny is more than an artist; he's a beacon of hope and positivity within Flint's community. Through his vibrant murals, he has brought happiness and artistry to our city, including the iconic downtown mural at the University of Michigan Flint campus, a testament to his dedication to our beloved city.
Beyond his artwork, Johnny's selflessness shines. He has generously given his time to noble causes, using his artistic talents to benefit organizations like the Boys and Girls Club, leaving a lasting impact on those he has touched.
Johnny's recent transition from tattoo artist to muralist showcases his versatility and artistic growth, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who encounters his work. His greatest masterpiece is his beloved daughter, whom he cherishes dearly.
Johnny's fall wasn't just a physical setback; it jeopardizes his ability to provide for his family and continue sharing his exceptional talent with the world. Healing from this incident is going to be a long journey.
In solidarity with Johnny's recovery journey, we aim to raise $15,000, symbolizing $1,000 for each foot of that fateful fall.
[I couldn't resist the dark humor.]
The funds we raise will be instrumental in helping Johnny cover essential bills, unexpected expenses, and, most importantly, providing the financial security that often eludes artists. This peace of mind will enable him to focus on healing, knowing that the community steadfastly supports him every step of the way.
Johnny Fletcher is destined for greatness. Let's come together to boost his recovery, celebrate the spirit of street art, and uplift our local artist who continuously inspires and unites us all. Your generous contribution will make a significant impact in bringing his vibrant artistry back to the streets.
