TO ANYONE IN OR AROUND THE LOWELLVILLE, OHIO AREA:

My stepmom was diagnosed with acute renal failure when she went to the hospital sometime last month. She is a single mom, taking care of my sister and brother, and she can't work. She is also pregnant with my twin siblings.

My dad is helping organise a benefit to help her get the money she needs, and we all would really appreciate if anyone near there could consider stopping by. For people 13 years and over, it's $10.00, and I know it seems like a lot, but this could very easily be her life we're talking about here.

That's my uncle with the ukulele and the adorable bass voice! 

This is something I never thought could happen - I have all these images in my head of television from the 50's and 60's but for some reason, it seems SO far away, and SO foreign. 

I never expected to see my uncle from a teeny tiny podunk town in Upstate New York on a television show! Let alone performing music (he's a painter now).
