Charities

This is an awesome charity which helps feed and clothe our military that have addictions, have medical needs, are homeless or other varied problems. I enjoyed spending time with the soldiers who served our great nation. I hugged each and every one of them. Each year, the soldiers come together to receive necessary counseling, medicine, job counseling, clothing...whatever Operation Stand Down feels the soldiers can benefit from giving them. We enjoyed playing music for the soldiers and sharing a meal with them.

In memory of my brother, James D. Lloy and "Corky" William Hull, my step-father, I am spreading the news about the Heartwalk my father is coordinating in Maui, Hawaii. If you have lost someone near and dear to heart disease, please contemplate making a donation. It is an awesome cause. Mahalo~

Both musicians, Gina mysteriously disappeared from Lincoln, Nebraska 11 years ago (on October 17, 2000) after a performance at a venue. Her car was found the next day with her guitar in the trunk, but no sign of Gina.
Jannel realized in her attempts at finding her own sister that so many families face the same hurdles; Their loved ones simply vanishing with no media hook to garner the much-needed, ongoing attention to the disappearance of their loved one. Jannel had to do something to change that. In 2001, she launched the SWT® and GINA FOUNDation. Since then, more than 1,100 people have been found because of these efforts.
