<div><em>To help Gary cover essential living costs, medical recovery expenses, and focus on healing.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Situation</strong>
</div>
<div>Our dear friend Gary Jones—marketing specialist, musician, videographer, technology nerd, wine expert, community builder, CreativeMornings volunteer, and one of the most generous humans you’ll ever meet—is fighting a tough battle with cancer of the tongue. He’s undergone surgery and radiation therapy. He’s navigating recovery with courage and grace, but it’s come at a cost: Gary has been unable to work for months and has depleted his savings just trying to stay afloat. Gary has been there for many of us—now it’s our turn to show up for him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who Is Gary Jones?</strong>
</div>
<div>You may know Gary from his IT services, the wine industry, Scottish Highland Games, SFU Pipeband, Creative Mornings, local music scene, or maybe you are a neighbour he has helped with a tech problem.
</div>
<div>But behind the spotlight is someone even more remarkable:
</div>
<div>• A mentor.
</div>
<div>• A champion for emerging talent.
</div>
<div>• A tireless community volunteer.
</div>
<div>Gary has poured years of his time, humour, and heart into others. For over a decade, he’s been a Creative Mornings super-volunteer—attending over 100 events, helping capture and edit video for dozens, and always the first to lend a hand or lift a spirit. If you’ve ever met Gary, you know the deal: he shows up. Fully.
</div>
<div>Now he needs us to do the same.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We’re Asking for Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Gary’s income as a freelance creative professional dried up the moment his diagnosis arrived. While his strength and optimism remain intact, he’s facing financial precarity as he recovers.
</div>
<div>Your support will go directly toward:
</div>
<div>• Rent and basic living expenses while he’s unable to work
</div>
<div>• Ongoing recovery costs not covered by health care
</div>
<div>• Reducing the stress that’s slowing his healing
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>1 <strong>Donate</strong> whatever you can—every gift, big or small, makes a difference.
</div>
<div>2 <strong>Share this page widely</strong>—on social, in emails, or by telling a friend.
</div>
<div>3 <strong>Leave a message</strong> for Gary—your words will mean the world to him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This Is About More Than Money</strong>
</div>
<div>This is about community. Gratitude. Love.
</div>
<div>Gary has given so much of himself over the years—not for applause, but because that’s just who he is.
</div>
<div>Let’s return the favour. Let’s help Gary heal with dignity, surrounded by the support of those he’s inspired and entertained.
</div>
<div>We’ll post regular updates as he continues his recovery journey. Thank you for showing up for someone who’s always shown up for others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Team Gary
</div>
<div><br />
