Help John Get Through Open Heart Surgery
Donation protected
Hi my name is Joanne Mars, my daughter Melissa Mangar and I are creating this GoFundMe to help my brother John who is facing open heart surgery very soon. This surgery will affect his livelihood and income greatly.
My brother is the owner of Alix & Sons Computer Store in Belchertown, MA. His store is his only means of income, so being faced with this surgery will cause a great deal of hardship.
We are reaching out to family and the community in hopes that we can help to alleviate some of his financial burdens with donations. When you donate you will see a slide with a % to add extra for the GoFundme fees. You can bring that slide down to zero, this way you will only be applying your donation.
John is always there to help others whether it’s a family member, friend or client. We would like to help him through this tough time.
Your thoughts and prayers are also needed for a speedy recovery.
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts❤️
