**Help the Johnson Family Thrive: Your Invitation to a Virtual Spaghetti Dinner**
The opioid crisis has left lasting heartbreaking effects, reaching into the homes of too many families. This crisis has turned the lives of my very dear friends, the Johnson family upside down. But in the midst of adversity, Gary (Papa) and Jan (Ooma) Johnson remain the unwavering caregivers to their beloved grandchildren - Alex, Peyton, Avery, and Cameron, in Greater Cleveland, Ohio. These grandparents have devoted the last 18 years to their grandchildren first of all by welcoming their oldest grandson Alex to live in their home, and by stepping in when they were needed most, by taking custody of the younger grandkids nine years ago due to Heroin addiction. Despite facing their own health challenges and financial struggles due to disability, they continue to give all they have for their family.
This is where you can make a true difference. We are hosting a heartfelt Virtual Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser, inviting you to indulge in the comfort of Ooma's AMAZING Homemade Spaghetti and Meatballs (her recipe that she so graciously shared with me a few years ago), Italian Chopped Salad, Garlic Bread and for dessert, a recipe for a Cleveland Style Strawberry Cassata Cake Trifle. YUM! Recipes for which you'll receive once our goal is met! I will be sending the recipes and contacting winners through the Thank You option that is included along with our fundraiser page. So, there is no need to provide an email address so as to keep all winners identities private.
Your participation will not only bring you culinary joy but will also directly support the Johnsons in supplementing their living expenses, help them meet their financial responsibility to pay for their oldest son's funeral, making crucial home repairs, and filling the financial gap left by their inability to work full-time.
Your generosity doesn't stop at a good meal. Join us for the chance to win exciting prizes, from fashion jewelry to Walmart gift cards. And for one lucky participant, a sparkling thank you awaits—a White Gold Diamond Cocktail Ring, pictured below for everyone to see!
Share this fundraiser with family and friends. Your involvement is more than a donation; it is vital support that will help these grandparents continue caring for their beloved grandchildren and each other in these challenging times.
Participate today in this Virtual Spaghetti Dinner and feel the power of your contribution in keeping a family together. THANK YOU for your kindness and generosity!
