Let's help our buddy, Joe!

We all know and love our buddy, Joe Johnson, "The Second Street Waving Guy," who spends his time showing his love for people and trying to bring smiles to the faces of everyone driving by on Second St SW. Joe feels this is his life purpose and takes great pride in what he does. And he does it rain or shine and sometimes for hours and hours on end. We've even seen him out in freezing temps while wearing nothing but shorts and bare chested! And we love it!

 

Well, Joe is currently suffering from a unique, rare, brain-based form of dizziness, which has made it nearly impossible to get out and do his thing, although he continues to try along with the help of walker to help keep him on his feet. He is very fatigued and unsteady, so appearances in the near future will likely be infrequent and limited. So we figured what better way to show Joe how much we appreciate what he does than to start a GoFundMe page to raise money, which will go to help get him through this difficult time. Just imagine how much we could raise if even half of his 12,000 Facebook fans chipped-in $10-20! That would be $60,000-120,000.00, which would be life-changing money for Joe! So we set an arbitrary goal of $10k, just to see what happens. If we get there quickly we can raise it!

 

Whether you donate or not please keep Joe in your prayers. He's going through a tough time right now and feels terrible he can't be out there waving and flying his flags.

Note: This fundraiser was started by Dean Riggott Photography. All money raised will go to Joe in monthly installments over the next 12 months. Thank you so much for your support of Joe.
