The John Morris Fund

It has come to our attention, that a fellow Realtor of Keller Williams Realty Southwest in Sugar Land, Texas has been in the hospital for the last week of March 2008 and is courageously battling Cancer. Even with the assistance of various agencies that have been able to write off many of the bills, they are still in excess of $100,000.

 John has no medical insurance, as many of us don't. We want him to concentrate on channeling his energy into getting better. Our immediate goal is to raise $25,000

How you can Help?

We're asking each of you to make a small donation of $25.00 as a one time gift, or whatever you can afford. Your $25.00 would really help John pay some of those bills. Monthly pledges are welcome.

Please send all donations to:

Keller Williams Realty Southwest        John Morris Fund

C/O John Morris Fund

1650 Hwy. 6, Suite 350

Sugar Land, Texas 77478

 

Please help us help John, it's a terrible situation to be in and we know that the Keller Williams family and the entire Realtor family will support him and in this life experience.

 

Thank you in Advance!

I will pass this along to my office as we at Prudential Gary Greene are very involved in charity work in Houston and on a National level. I am sure that I can help this brave man and appreciate the opportunity to do so.

I will also pass this along to our Sugar Land office as they are a terrific group of Realtors and are always ready to help out. Great job getting the word out.

Sure I will help out. I just saw John last week and had no idea he was ill. Cheryl White, Avalon Realty

Here is a really easy and fun way to help out. There is a weekly drawing on Fridays in the office (Keller Williams Southwest). Usually it is $1 a business card entry. They are also taking direct donations, Just make sure when you drop it off that note that as for John Morris fund.

I have only known John for 5 years and have grown to love and respect him as my friend. He was the one that took the time to help me when I first started. I know that John had been in the real estate business for over 20 years and knows many of the agents around the area.

If anyone knows of anything or suggestions you think we may not have thought of for helping raise money or agencies they can contact, please leave a response for the committee to follow up.

Hi Shayne, Yes of course I will be more than happy to help.  Please do another post and put in the Texas Real Estate group.  Title something like, Texans helping Texans in need, and I will feature it.  Also talk to Jason at Family Ties and I'm sure he will help on his group as well.  Liz

John is a great man! He took a lot of time with me as a new agent and I will forever be grateful. I will keep John in my prayers.

Im always touched by the support from our entire Realtor community, and proud to be a part of this committee and contribute in any way I can. John was one of the reasons why I joined KW. I look forward to helping to exceed any expectations and goals to help John.

I am so happy to a part of the Keller Williams Southwest Family.  We really do care for one another in our time of need.  John Morris has been great agent to work with and be friends with.  He will help you however he can.  Now is the time we can help him in his time of need.  Atlanta CAR 9 will never be forgotten!  Take care.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for thier support towards this effort. Everyone has given and done so much and we still have more work to reach our goal. For those that donated financially thank you so much for kindly giving from your hearts.

For those who cant contribute financially there are many other ways to help by volunteering at one of our upcomming events, raising awareness in the community about our efforts, and supporting John during a difficult time.

Lets remember John has incurred some extrodinary medical bills from his diagnosis and hospital stay. OUR EFFORTS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR JOHN ARE GOING TOWARDS HIS CONTINUING TREATMENT WHICH HE NEEDS TO GET BETTER, once that is accomplished we can work on the previous expenses.

I wanted to commend Judy Kay of Keller Williams and Aimee Montgommery of Land America Title for volunteering and raising funds today at the Fort Bend Womens Council of Realtors. Thank you so much for your generosity and compassion.

Just wanted to post a quick update, it looks like we reached $6500 raised so far to help John continue his treatments to get wll. Great job everyone, lets keep up the good work and get the momentum going again!

We're looking to get a Golf Tournament in honor of the John Morris fund. Does anyone have any suggestion? I've narrow the golf course list down to three course with our cost at around $55 per player including food. Any advice would be helpful...

I'm thinking about calling the tournament "Beat the Texan, NOT!"
