Justin recieved some news after a routine visit to the dentist turned up a sign of high blood pressure. He consulted his Dr. and they ran tests only to find out he was in some serious trouble.
Justins kidneys were not functioning like they should be due to numerous cystis that were in each one. He is now and will be on dialysis longterm, until he consults with a specialist to see when a transplant can be done.

All of the money raised will be used to pay for future medical bills and other related expenses. Treatments for Justin can get very expensive, so when he does have the operation he will be missing work for a few months.
His first surgery to have his spleen removed was April 19th.
HOW CAN YOU HELP: Vintage is collecting Chairs, couches, loveseats, stools, settees, benches, etc for the event. There will be a silent Auction to bid on these items, and the highest bidder gets to take the item home. To donate a "chair" please contact the store at 815-513-5670.
