James, born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas, is a 35-year-old whose strength, resilience, and compassion continue to shine even in the face of life’s greatest challenges.
Recently diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, he has undergone major surgeries and is now courageously undergoing chemotherapy treatments. Unable to work during this difficult time, James leans on the care and support of his loved ones as he focuses on healing.
For nearly 20 years, James dedicated himself to the service industry, where his warmth, humor, and hardworking spirit touched countless lives. To his family, he is a devoted brother, uncle, cousin, grandson, and nephew. To his friends, he is a source of laughter, loyalty, and unwavering love. Those who know James best describe him as thoughtful, hilarious, compassionate, and endlessly generous—someone whose presence can light up any room.
This fundraiser is not only about easing financial burdens but also about surrounding James with the same love and compassion he has so freely shared with others throughout his life.
By joining us at the upcoming poker fundraiser event—or through your generous donations—you can help James focus on what matters most: his health, his recovery, and the brighter days ahead.
Come play, have fun, and make a difference—all in support of James.
Join us for an afternoon of cards, camaraderie, and community as we rally together in support of James. This special poker fundraiser will bring friends, family, and neighbors together for a night filled with excitement, good company, and a shared purpose.
