Help Grazing co family during Brendon's treatments
Donation protected
This is Brendan and Luisa. They’re part of the events industry family. They have the biggest hearts of anyone I know, always ready to help others and give to all unconditionally and without reservation. I love these guys like family. Through the years we have worked on countless events together and they’ve always had my back and everyone else’s. They’re the first to step in when there is a need, giving freely of their time, their energy, their love and support. Now it’s time that we all gave back.
6 years ago Brendan fought for his life when a sarcoma was discovered in his right leg. After surgery and treatment Bren had been cancer free for 6 years. It was early on after his recovery that I met him by chance (or providence) on a job. His passion for food, his work, his family and his overall good guy attitude, secured a lifelong friendship.
Over the years he and Luisa have become leaders in the catering events industry. Not only is their food of the highest chef quality, their loyalty, compassion for others and friendship surpasses all.
Yesterday we were shocked to learn that more lesions have been found in Brendan’s spine and groin. More testing this week will determine how extensive the cancer has spread. Regardless, Bren and his warrior wife Lou, are already preparing for the biggest battle of their lives. They’re putting everything on hold to fight this; their family business, their work, their beloved 2 young boys; all have to take a backseat while Bren undergoes lifesaving treatment with Lou by his side every step of the way.
What I want to ask of everyone who can, please give any amount so that they don’t have to worry about home mortgage repayments or car loans or groceries or any of the mundane day to day stresses, and they can just pour all their energies into getting Brendan well again. They are a strong and proud couple, they would never think to ask for help, but we all need the help and kindness of others from time to time, so I am asking for them.
Please everyone, every cent counts, and for those who have nothing to spare , please share to everyone and please, I ask that you pray for Brendan with all your heart. His boys and his family need him and he deserves another chance at life.
I thank you on behalf of Brendan, Luisa, Christian and Cruz ♥️
