Benefit Barn Sale

Cousin Lisa and the family of her husband Jim are having a Benefit Barn Sale at their barn this week. There are raffles of donated merchandise from local businesses. All proceeds will go to Jim's brother, John.
At the end of July, John was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Surgery removed a large portion of the baseball-sized tumor. He now faces seven weeks of radiation and chemotherapy treatments to shrink and eradicate the rest of it.
John has two children, a son who is eleven and a daughter who is nine. John is the co-owner of a flooring business in the county seat north of my family porch. He has worked in the flooring business all his adult life.
