Joey Gilmore's medical Fundraiser

Good afternoon friends, fans, and musician associates of Joey Gilmore. Joey remains in the hospital as his condition was finally diagnosed to be more serious than he had anticipated. He is not sure as to when he will be getting out the hospital as he is receiving care for a painfully serious bone condition. He continues to need hands on assistance for all his daily needs including walking and has intravenous around the clock. He expressed that he has loss his appetite and is in extreme pain. Joey continues to need financial support for his family and prayers to help him recover. I'm calling out to everyone who has music and love in their hearts, to contribute a little or a lot. Also Blue jean blues in Fort Lauderdale will be holding another fundraiser Jam for him May 9th from 5-11pm. If you would like to give a little of your musical talent, time and your Name to promote his event, we can hopefully raise more needed funds for him. Musicians can join his band that night with a microphone and Amp if needed and jam.
