Why We’re Hosting This Event

The past four years have tested me in ways I never expected.

When Melanie suddenly fell very ill in 2021, I was thrown into a role I wasn’t prepared for — primary provider, caretaker, and the one holding everything together. With her so sick, I carried it all — every bill, every responsibility, the cleaning, and every ounce of care needed for her recovery.

Then, this February, just as we were trying to find our balance, I became the one who got very ill. I developed a severe bacterial infection in my digestive tract that caused me to lose 70 pounds. Even through that, I pushed forward with my music and work, trying to provide for the house and for Melanie — still on my own — caught in this loop of responsibility.

I was afraid that if Melanie knew about the hydro bill, the stress would make her sick again. I truly believed I could handle it with the payment arrangements we had set up, but the stress and my health struggles caused me to slip. I missed a payment.

Even after sending $2,300, thinking Hydro One would work with us, they demanded the full amount up front. I kept scrambling to find a solution, still not telling Melanie — thinking I was protecting her.

On July 2nd, we woke up with no power, and we’ve been without hydro since.

This concert isn’t just about raising funds — it’s about our survival. It’s about turning the lights back on, literally and figuratively.

And we’re desperately asking for your help out of necessity.

Being someone who always feels I have to carry things on my own, this is a really hard ask and I really appreciate all the support we can get

Thank you.
