Greetings one and all, we got the disturbing news that Jah Stitch the legendary DJ from Tippertone & Black Harmony and selector for Youth Promotion has to have a heart operation in a couple of weeks and that he is having trouble paying for his medication which he needs to stay alive.
We have teamed up with Beth Lesser, photographer & writer to try and help him.
Beth has opened a paypal account for donations and we have done a special over at WCTD where we have upped 3 Promotion sessions that we have not posted before. All you need to do to get the sessions is donate to the fund.
Once your donation is recieved Beth will send you the links.
ALL donations will go directly to Jah Stitch for his medication.
