In 2022, Leslie joined Makoto Taiko's Foundations Class and the members of that class have since become great friends. She is such an amazing friend and talented performer. We were heartbroken to learn that she and John had lost their home, belongings, and even one of their beloved cats. Our goal is to raise funds to help with emergency essentials, not covered by insurance and FEMA. These funds will directly support our friends, Leslie Frank & John Gerz, and we appreciate any donation, no matter how small.
