Joe Graham

Hi, my name is Jill and I am writing on behalf of the Pawelko Graham family. Joe died suddenly July 2 on what would have been his 51st birthday. The loss of this vibrant man is felt deeply. In addition to steep end of life expenses, his 20 year old son Owen is a gifted cellist who had worked his whole life toward being selected as a student at The Royal Academy of Music, in London. He is now a rising sophomore there, and it is feared that his dream of continuing at The RAM (one of the most prestigious conservatories in the world) may be prematurely halted due to the financial strain from losing his father. In a typical week Owen attends full time classes and practices cello many hours per day in addition to working as a barista 20 hours each week to help fund his living expenses. Please join me in bringing Owens dream of graduation into a reality. While he and his mother grieve this tragic loss, the comfort of financial certainty is an immeasurable gift.
