Jacqi McMillan Benefit
http://www.facebook.com/groups/jaquimacbenefit/
This concert is a benefit for a local drummer. Jacqi had surgery on November 22nd to take care of a malignant tumor--and she could not afford health insurance.
From the facebok group, "Jaqui is a beautiful soul whose smile lifts everyone she meets. Jaqui is also an incredibly gifted teacher and musician who has dedicated her life to sharing joy through the art of drumming with children and adults alike. Jaqui is a student of the late master drummer Babatunde Olatunji and was one of the people who tended to Baba in his last days. Recently, Jaqui had some tests done on her abdomen and it was discovered that she has a very large abdominal tumor and w/ malignant characteristics, possibly ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, she is one of those Americans who can't afford health insurance, nor has she been able to qualify for medical assistance so far since she owns a house and a car.
"She needs quite a bit of help financially to get her through her surgery and 8 week recovery (to the tune of $25-35K). She is continuing to apply for aid, but is unsure what, if any of it, will come through as she has not qualified for any of it so far."
