Grateful for community support

I would like to thank Newton and surrounding communities and businesses that helped and contributed to my family’s fundraiser benefit May 27. The proceeds will certainly help with my ongoing medical expenses as I battle Gitelman Syndrome, a rare kidney disorder.

I’m overwhelmed with everyone’s generosity. It was a very emotional night for me filled with some tears and then laughter. Friends and family from near and far, some I’ve not seen for years were there for support. I’m very blessed to have so many in my life. I thank God and you all.
