Jerry Tillman's Cancer Treatment

Donation protected
Jerry Tillman is a loving husband, father, grandfather, friend, and talented muscisian.  Mostly known for his talents behind the pedal steel and telecastor guitar, he has shared the stage with too many incredible bands and artist to mention.  Although if asked, I am sure he would say sharing the stage with  his young students over the years would be some of his most cherished moments. Jerry has touched the lives of so many people through music; not only by playing,  but also through teaching.  "Jerry's Kids" has inspired and developed the musical gifts of children for years.  He has also blessed many records with his well known "Tillman Effect" in the studio.  His coveted sound and cherished input is still desired today.  He was actively recording on some projects, and still giving lessons at his shop and doing repairs.  Jerry is an active performer, gracing the stage with many acts we all run out to see each weekend.  I think all the artists and bands that have played with Jerry Tillman would all agree that when Jerry is on stage, there is a sense of relief.  You know that the music is going to sound amazing. Having his support on stage is monumentous. WELL.. that support is needed for Jerry.  
He was recently driving up in Port Saint Lucie, on the hunt for an amp he found on Craig's List, and suffered a stroke. Losing some vision, he faired well. In being treated for the stroke, they discovered Bladder Cancer.  He has undergone some surgery already. Having no insurance, the treatment Jerry needs has to be paid with cash.  This treatment needs to be done ASAP. Jerry is unable to do much at the moment, but intends to get past this and continue touching the lives of others. Being on the recieving end is hard for him, and he is appreciative of all your thoughts, prayers, and concerns.
Anything you can do to help is more than appreciated and every little bit counts.  
Let's get Jerry the treatment he needs, and get him back behind the strings he loves so much.
