MEET THE HILLUKKA FAMILY FROM MENAHGA

A community member and his family from Menahga could really use our help right now. Jon Hillukka suffered a massive seizure in January of 2022. Followed by a craniotomy, Jon was diagnosed with an Anaplastic Astrocytoma brain tumor (Grade 3).

THEIR STORY

After this, Jon had to have another craniotomy, many different therapies, extensive radiation treatments, and many months of temozolomide chemotherapy.

Due to his illness, Jon lost his CDL License, making it impossible for Jon to continue working. His wife, Krystal, was able to find a job but it's not as lucrative as Jon's job was.

Jon & Krystal have 5 children, and now with mounting expenses, could really use our help. Funds raised for the Hilluka family will be used to pay the many bills that are accumulating from Jon's continuing medical treatments.

PLEASE COME TO THE BENEFIT

Everyone is invited to come to this event to help support this family, not only financially but emotionally as well.
