Yesterday, we lost one of the best and brightest people we've had the privilege to know, Blackberry Smoke drummer Brit Turner.
Since his diagnosis with glioblastoma in November of '22, he fought with everything he had in him....continuing to tour and record with the band up until December of last year.
The band released a statement that reads:
“It is with the deepest sorrow that we inform everyone that our brother Brit Turner has moved on from this life,” the group said in its statement. “If you had the privilege of knowing Brit on any level, you know he was the most caring, empathetic, driven and endearing person one could ever hope to meet. Brit was Blackberry Smoke’s True North, the compass that instituted the ideology that will continue to guide this band. Brit has battled glioblastoma since his diagnosis in the fall of 2022 and fought every day. We ask for prayers for his family and band brothers. More information on arrangements will be forthcoming. Thank you to everyone who has supported and been there for Brit and his family through this fight.”

Anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting Brit would tell you the same thing...we was larger than life, funny, kind, a family man, and truly a one of a kind human being.
And we here are going to miss him very much.
Rest easy, Brit. We'll see you on the other side.

Hope For The Holidays: Amber 12.22.23. LISTEN HERE!! Dec 22, 2023

Dear Johnny,

My name is Amber and I’m a 42 year old single mother of 3 and I’m also a dialysis patient. I have had hereditary kidney trouble since the age of 9 (IGA nephropathy).

At the age of 26 my kidney began to shut down and I had to start dialysis (3 times a week for 7 years). In 2014, I was finally able to get a donor and for 6 years life was great. In 2020, I went to work one morning and I didn’t feel well. I just didn’t feel right. I was rushed to the hospital and after testing doctors found that my donor kidney was failing. At that point I had to go back on dialysis 3 times per week for 3 ½ hours per session.

I have so much scar tissue up and down my arms from all of the needle pokes and it’s all so draining and time consuming. It can be painful and physically exhausting.

I have kept working 4 days a week and I stay late if I can to get more hours or take extra shifts. When I’m not working or at dialysis I sleep a lot to try and recover. I am awaiting testing for my heart to see if it’s safe to go back on the donor list.

The only way I can afford to live is by sharing a place with my 2 daughters (ages 20 and 16) and they help take care of me as best they can. I also have a son, but he lives in Hayes, KS. With all of the testing and doctor’s appointments and dialysis I’ve fallen behind on some bills. I do my best but sometimes it just isn’t enough. I pray that you can help me and I thank you for reading my letter.

Sincerely,

Amber

Hope For The Holidays: Dave 12.18.23. LISTEN HERE! Dec 18, 2023

Dear Johnny,
My name is Dave and I’m writing to ask for help. My mom, Mary, passed away in July 2019. She was 86 years old and suffered with alzheimer’s and she was diabetic.

She was the greatest mom a guy could have.

My father died when I was 2 years old and it only made me that much closer to my mom. After she died, my brother and two sisters and I were able to pay for a funeral, but it cost almost $10,000. It’s been 4 years now and my family and I can’t afford to get her a headstone.

Each of us kids have our own families and we have tried to save money for a headstone over the years, but it just never happens. It’s hard to go to the cemetery and see her grave marked with only a small metal nameplate on a stake in the ground. I would love to honor my mom and finally mark her grave in the proper way.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter and if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Dave

Dear Johnny,

My name is Christina. I'm a single mom of 4 great kids.

In July of this year something didn't feel right and I felt a small lump on my left breast. I went in for a mammogram and doctors found 3 lumps. After scans and testing I was diagnosed with breast cancer and scheduled for a single mastectomy in September.

After the surgery I started chemo in October (I have had 4 rounds, now have 12 left). With my surgery they removed 18 lymph nodes, 14 were cancerous. With surgery and treatments I have missed several weeks of work and it has been tough to make ends meet.

For the last 6 years I have been a school bus driver and bus aid for a local school district and with my immune system compromised, it’s hard to work and be around the kids. I have applied for disability and should have it right after the first of the year but I am late on December rent and I'm at a loss to how I'm going to make it. I owe $1427 with late fee. I never thought this could happen. Thank you for reading my letter.

Hope For The Holidays: Kiara 12.14.23. LISTEN HERE! Dec 14, 2023

Dear Johnny,

I'm writing for help for me and my family. It's been a tough year for us. We are unable to get our heat turned on this winter due to financial difficulties. It's me, my mother, my two brothers with autism, my grandfather and my grandmother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2021.

My mother has become a full-time caregiver for my grandmother and watching to make sure everybody is taken care of. We have really buckled down to try and catch up, but we just can't seem to get there. They are on a fixed income and I work as many hours as I can to take things off of their plate and make things warmer and safer.

We are currently relying on space heaters and electric blankets to stay warm, but it would be such a blessing for us to have heat. I didn't realize the gas had been shut off sometime around May or June due to past due bills.

After the past couple years of my grandmother getting her diagnosis and my grandfather and mother having to dedicate so much time to taking care of my brothers and grandmother, things have been an immense struggle. The overdue bill to get the heat turned back on is $2500 and I just don't know where to turn.

Thank you for all you do and thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

Sincerely,

Kiara

Hope For The Holidays: Jason & Suzanne 12.12.23. LISTEN HERE! Dec 12, 2023

Dear Johnny,

On December 8th 2023 my wife was diagnosed with leukemia.

She has been sick off and on the last six months and we've had several doctor's appointments and now know what we are dealing with. She is currently at KU Med Center, but she won't be home for Christmas or New Years as they have already begun treatment.

I'm am now keeping up with work and all of life's daily responsibilities and helping take care of my wife as well. I'm working as much as I can, because I can't lose my medical coverage, but I also have to be available to my wife to provide the support she needs for this fight. I can't share my worries with her because I just want her to concentrate on getting better. I have missed some work which has cut back on our funds and my car has an issue that I really need to deal with.

The power steering pump is going out which is making the car really hard to steer and drive safely. I need the car to get to the hospital, go to work, buy prescriptions, but I don't know how long it's going to hold out. It's costs like $500-$600 and I don't have it. I will be behind on rent, but luckily my landlord is trying to work with me on it. I just really need the car to work and I'm desperate and overwhelmed. I feel like I fake a smile to get through my days, but I just want my wife to be okay.

Thank you for your time,

Dear Johnny,

My name is Kaidan and the reason I'm writing for help today is that my wife (31) and I just found out last Thursday (Nov 30) that she has stage 3 colon cancer. Possibly stage 4. And a spot on her lower left lung. It started in November when she was having dizzy spells and trouble breathing. She's also had some stomach pain. We have both had to take several days off work for doctor's appointments to figure out what's going on. She's been through CT scans, x-rays, rectal exams, and more. We are now waiting on the results of a biopsy. She is supposed to start chemo next week (4 to 6 rounds) but her hemoglobin tested low so she has to have a blood transfusion this week.

I'm trying to work as many hours as possible. We have 3 kids ages 12, 8, and 5. I hate to ask for help but I know I won't be able to do this alone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,

Johhny and crew,

I’ve never been good asking for help, but I really need support with getting freedom back in my life for wheel-chair lift for the truck.

I have been fighting Parkinson’s Disease for 6 years now, and 5 back surgeries.

Luckily the company I work for has accommodated me with working from home. BUT home has been my life for over a year now.

I fought BCBS Insurance for over 6 months to just get my powered wheelchair covered.

The problem is my BCBS insurance company does not cover any type of lifts for vehicles.

I have priced lifts all over KC, the best price I found was at Mobility Plus Platte County and they are still out of my price range.

The cost for just the lift is $3500 (trading in an old chair). It must be a special size lift to handle the weight of the chair.

Model is AL425HD that handles the weight, I can’t use a hitch style.

Story:

I have giving up everything in my life, I just can’t even get out of the house now.

I take 56 pills each day, yes 56, I can’t afford a lift.

Not sure how much more life can throw at me.

Then 5 major back surgeries and then Parkinson’s.

Guys, I need help to gain some freedom again, any help please. I even tried looking at used but the few I tried did not fit or needed to many parts replaced to use.

Love you guys, please see if you can help.

Dear Johnny,

On Saturday, December 2nd around 7:30 am, a man driving a truck lost control and ran into our town home driving through the wall into our living room. Luckily my daughter and I were not at home, but now we are scrambling for a place to live.

The Red Cross helped us with $640 but that is not going very far. We have been in a hotel since Saturday night and soon will have no place to go. I just paid our rent December 1st and now that money is gone. And they're not going to be done with repairs for at least 2 to 3 months on our unit.

I'm a single mom my daughter lives with me she's 18 years old and we have 2 dogs. We are just stressed about what is going to happen to us. I have reached out to multiple agencies I was directed to by Red Cross, but they don't have funds to help us. We did find a 2-bedroom duplex to rent and we were approved but I just don't have the money for rent deposit and pet deposit and I am trying to figure out a way to come up with that. My next paycheck isn't until December 13th and I don't know what else to do. Even though this was all an accident I just want to know that my daughter and I have a place to lay our head at night.

Hope For The Holidays: Jason Dean 12.05.23. LISTEN HERE!! Dec 05, 2023

Dear Johnny,

My name is Jason and I'm 43 years old. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 19 years ago.

It is a chronic and progressive disease that I have lived with now for years. I've been in a continuous battle with MS and realize that I need an electric wheelchair to improve my quality of life. This style of wheelchair is the Majestic IQ 7000 and will solve a lot of my mobility issues I'm currently dealing with.

As a new father to a baby girl, it will allow me more freedom to be hands on and hold my daughter. This style wheelchair will also make it easier for my wife to pack up for transport (it is an auto-folding remote-controlled electric chair). On bad days, getting out of bed is very difficult and this chair would help solve many of my problems like just getting around the house and even getting into a vehicle for doctor’s appointments.

I'm currently $2500 short on being able to get this chair, but it's a necessary tool to improve my daily health as I battle MS.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and going on this crazy journey with me.

Happy Holidays and Thanks,

Hope for the Holidays: Katie & Eric 12.01.23. LISTEN HERE! Dec 01, 2023

Dear Johnny,

This is a hard email to write, I have listened to your show for years growing up with my dad and brothers. I have heard so many Hope For The Holidays stories over the years.

Here is ours…my husband Erik is an Army Veteran, who has many complex health problems that we are just recently discovering are potentially connected to his service and we are actively trying to get service connected disability pay for his new health finds.

But he has been in and out of the hospital several times this year, with Pancreatitis and other complications. He used all of his PTO in January when he was first hospitalized, and we are struggling to get caught up on rent and utilities since his last hospitalization in September and final outpatient procedure in October, to top it off, we thought we were headed for the light at the end of the tunnel when we both got COVID for a week in early November, after he was cleared to return to work from his last hospital procedure.

My PTO is gone and my employer is losing patience with my time off needs. So, I am hesitant to even ask for assistance from them.

We currently owe $930 for rent for December.

Late fees for September, October and November are $135 a month for a total of $405.

I was able to get our utilities are extended until December 1st we owe $330.28 for them.

My husband’s car just started making an awful grinding noise last week and that’s just another expense to think about.

We haven’t purchased any groceries or food for Thanksgiving or for the upcoming break for my kids next week and I’m hoping to have gas money to just keep us getting to and from work to keep making some money for all of our other bills.

We appreciate any help and support you can offer to help us out of this rough patch we are in.

Thank you and God Bless,

Katie and Erik

Hope For The Holidays: Arianna & Piper 11.30.23. LISTEN HERE!! Nov 30, 2023

Dear Johnny,

My name is Arianna, I am sending you this letter because my family could really use some help.

On September 5, 2023 I had to take my oldest daughter Piper (9) to Children’s Mercy Hospital in downtown KC because she was having constant headaches, her left eye was presenting as a lazy eye out of nowhere, she was not wanting to eat, and she was very sluggish. That morning I decided I needed to get her to the hospital to see what was going on. They got her into the emergency room immediately and within an hour she was getting a CT scan. The ER Doctor that was with her came in to tell us the results of the CT Scan. They had my fiancé and I step out of the room and I knew something was wrong. They pulled us into a separate room to tell us that they found a mass on my daughter’s brain. The Neurosurgeon told us that he was 99% sure it was a Brain Tumor and told us that she would need an MRI that day, a biopsy the next day and surgery sometime in the next week most likely. I stayed at the hospital with Piper while they got the MRI set up for her. It did end up being a Brain Tumor located directly on her Spinal Cord, he told us that it had to be removed immediately. So, Piper was rushed into surgery that afternoon. After about 8 hours of surgery, the Neurosurgeon came out and told us that the Brain Tumor was huge and he got 97% of it, he wasn’t sure what kind of tumor it was yet until the pathology comes back in a few weeks. He said she did great and that she would be in the PICU for a few days but he was hoping she would recover nicely. We spent 2 days in the PICU and then were moved to the Neurosurgery follow up floor and we spent the next 2 1/2 - 3 weeks there.

After the tumor removal, her right side of her face is paralyzed for the time being and she could not walk, talk, use the restroom or anything on her own. She is now wheelchair bound and requires a 5 point harness car seat. We found out that she has what’s called Posterior Fossa Syndrome from the tumor removal, she is relearning everything at this moment and has been since she came out of surgery. She is now wheelchair bound and has to have full physical support daily. The Pathology came back and it is a low grade (slow growing Cancer) Pilocytic Astrocytoma tumor. She does have to get MRI’s every 6 months for the time being. If her tumor decides it wants to start growing then she will have to have more treatment.

My fiance is working full time, but I had to quit my job to be Piper’s full-time caregiver. I have been taking care of her and her two sisters. I am currently taking her to Ability KC Rehab facility here in Kansas City because they are really the only Pediatric facility that does intensive therapy that she needs at this moment! I drive her every week 5 days a week up here to get the rehab she needs. With help from my brother I bought a minivan that is lower, has more room, and is easier to load Piper in and out of. The last few months have been tough basically living off of one income, but I'm so happy to bring my oldest girl home and we can be a family again. It has put a strain on us financially. I am worried about rent coming due, getting tags for the minivan and the cost of gas to drive so much from Wellsville into KC.

Hope For The Holidays: Angel 11.28.23. LISTEN HERE! Nov 28, 2023

Dear Johnny,

My name is Angel and I am looking for a little help this holiday season.

I have been raising my two beautiful boys by myself since they were 3 and 5 years old. Sadly, their dad was killed in a car accident. I do not have any family here in Missouri with me, so I've had to try and do it all myself.

I lost my dad 3 years ago this Christmas day. I miss him every day. He was a huge part of my life.

I was recently diagnosed with stage 4 incurable metastatic breast cancer HER 2 Positive 3 plus which is very fast spreading in September of 2022. I had a double mastectomy then started immediately on chemo. I had the "red devil" cocktail which landed me in the hospital after every treatment. I am still doing Her2 blockage infusions every 3 weeks. I also went through 30 rounds of radiation which I burnt so incredibly bad, and the pain made me cry every day. I made it through all of that and stayed positive while doing my treatments. I just want to live for my boys and watch them grow up.

A few weeks ago, I was at the doctor's office complaining about headaches, dizziness, blurry vision and being nauseous. I had a Brain MRI, and the cancer has spread to my brain. I will now be undergoing radiation to pick the spots off in my brain. I am still staying positive, saying my prayers. I am a fighter, and I will not give up. No matter where my cancer spreads, I will deal with it, do whatever the doctors tell me do to, do whatever treatments I have to do just to live. I am only 52 and want to be around for as long as I can.

I've gotten behind on a few bills and would just like to get caught up and catch my breath. The cost of everything has gotten to be too much. I would like to be at a place that if God forbid something happen to me my boys would be okay.

Anything you can do is greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading my story – Angel

Hope For The Holidays: John 11/28/23 LISTEN HERE!!! Nov 28, 2023

Dear Johnny,

My brother John has been without teeth for several years now. John has an intellectual disability, and has gotten by on social security and odd jobs all his life. His teeth started to really get bad in his 30s. My family and I started paying towards his tooth extractions and his dentures. We got halfway through the procedures when Dad died, and the whole family fell on hard times.

John is now in his late forties. And he still has no teeth. The tops were removed, and he received a top set of dentures. But we haven't been able to get his bottoms done. It's been years. He can't wear the top piece because it chips what's left of his bottom teeth. It's been a hard time, and I had $1300 saved up a few years ago. But that $1300 dwindled little by little over the last few years as I had a whole slew of family get sick and pass.

I need to get his teeth fixed. Medicare doesn't help with dentistry, and I would love to see him eat his favorite foods again.

Thank you, Tony

Who Helped: Joel, Chuck, Consentino’s
How You Helped: $1000 for new dentures and $500 for groceries
