Shirts for Hertz (click here to order apparel; all proceeds go to the Hertz family)
The online store is open through Oct 19th; the apparel is expected to be ready for pickup by early November

We have a friend named Justin Hertz who needs all of our help and prayers right now. He is currently in a fight for his life. His wife, Brianne and two super cool kids, Kyleigh age 11 and Gavin age 9 have been amazing as their world has been turned up-side-down.

For those of you who know Justin, you know that he is always thinking of others and various ways to contribute to the community. We often get questions on how to support them and have, until now, been at a loss as to how to direct people. Through monetary donations, apparel sales, and a parade in his honor (on his birthday), we hope to show our friends that there IS something we can do to make things a little brighter and easier.

These various fundraising avenues have been set up for those that want to help. Choose whichever way you are most comfortable.

Help us show this family what our community is made of because for all of us, it Just Hertz to watch the people we love have to, in Justin’s words, “climb this mountain”.

Justin’s Story:

In late May, during the pandemic, Justin had been struggling to get out of bed, yet pushed himself to join his family on a neighborhood walk. The walk ended abruptly, after losing consciousness at a nearby home, with a trip to the emergency room where he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia and a tumor on his brain. Justin has been fighting this disease at Memorial Sloan Kettering ever since.

Justin’s immune system is extremely delicate and between this and COVID-19, visitors have been limited, if even at all. Brianne spent the 60 days that Justin was in the hospital traveling to NYC at least twice a week to see him; his children were not permitted in the building. He is now traveling to NYC and Commack for various appointments and treatments. It is anticipated that this will be their new way of life for an undetermined amount of time.

Your donations from all of the various fundraising avenues will go directly to Justin and his family to compensate for all of the additional expenses associated with his treatment as well as any additional needs that may arise during this time.

When you send your donation, don’t forget to leave a comment on what you are grateful for!
