While Chris has insurance, it will only cover a fraction of his expenses. We need to raise at least $60,000 to cover the difference.

Susie and Brian love you, Chris. You have made our lives so much richer with your amazing voice and songs. And you AIN'T done singin'!!!!
Julie, I wanted to leave you a note as well. Our love for Gaff is obvious, but we wouldn't have had so much exposure to him had it not been for you - his loving and supportive wife. It's got to be tough being married to a musician (I couldn't do it!) and you've stuck through it thick and thin. Thank you so much for sharing Gaff with us. My heart goes out to you and your families. Love, Diane (Payne)
Dear Julie,
My heart is with you. Please know that you are surrounded by so many people that love and care for you and your family. If there is anything that I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.
Bless you,
Linda Jemison (Doll Hut)
To Chris and Family -
I am very sorry to hear about your diagnosis and would like to offer a suggestion. MusiCares is an organization that helps musicians during challenging times. Please make application to them for support at:
http://www.grammy.com/MusiCares/Client_Services/
I know several musicians that have received the financial assistance of this organization for medical expenses just by completing the application. The process works!
Chris, your music has brought such pleasure to all of us. I wish you the best in your recovery.
Chris, Julie, I know we haven't been in touch lately, due to life's twists and turns, but I never, ever don't think about you guys. I was shocked by the news, but I immediately thought of how strong you both are, and how strong the love of your friends and family are. And that does make a HUGE difference, having support.
I've passed this website on to everyone I can think of, and am also going to try to put together some type of fundraiser with my friend Jeff Kerezman. (Chris, do you remember him? Bierce in LA guitarist) I'll keep you posted.
In the mean time, you both are in my prayers, and know that you will beat this thing.
Much love and hugs, "Di" xoxo

Hi Chris and Julie- Just checking in to tell you that our love and thoughts are with you as you enter this scary journey. We just went through all of this. You sent me good thoughts from the Palms and now I'm sending them right back at you. We wish you peace and laughter. We send all of our love and prayers for quick success. We will be featuring Chris' music on the 19th's show and hope it helps in the fundraising. Hold on to each other real tight and it will be all right somehow. Always your good buddy in the hills of Ca.
ALL OUR LOVE,
