The inspiration and mission of
Helping One Guy
comes from the compassion and blessing of THE GOOD SAMARITAN: "He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him." - Luke 10:34:34

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Once again, HOG supporters come through! Here is Bob, presenting
Matthew Faddis
with a check worth over $1000.00 from a special fundraising drive.
Matthew has been battling Crohn's disease for several years and was a
former HOG Honoree back in early 2019. He
and his wife, Ericka, have 4 young children and have had an extra tough time these past few months as well.
The family is very grateful for the compassionate help and prayers from HOG supporters. HOG is accepting donations for the Faddis family through July, 2020. If you wish to contribute, please

"M
y name is
Jose Martinez
and I was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico on June 14th, 1965. I'm the oldest of four children. I graduated from the University of Guadalajara as a Graphic Designer. I worked for an advertising agency for a while.
I moved to the USA in February of 1991 and I became an American Citizen in 1999. I'm married to Lucy Quintero and we have four wonderful children: Rebecca, Sarvia, Adriel and Aldric. I have been working in the restaurant industry for more than 25 years. I owned my own restaurant, Allied Vaqueros Mexican Bar and Grill in Marietta. I joined LaBamba since they opened. I have had the privilege of serving a variety of wonderful clientele, and developing a wonderful base of amazing and loyal customers.
In May of 2019 and without having health insurance, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I have been under a routine regime including diet, exercise, and medication. As of current, I am still sadly without medical insurance. The great support from family, coworkers and friends has been overwhelming."

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR NOW
Cornhole fans, take heart! HOPE the HOG still dreams of a 1st Annual Cornhole Tournament at the Big Shanty Barbershop. This can be a Doubles Tournament to compete for a 50/50 split in prize money. The cost would be $50 (each player) to participate with half the pot going to our Helping One Guy organization and the other half going to the winning team! Teams consist of 2 players and can be mixed gender. Sounds fun, doesn't it?
HOPE the HOG is still hopeful that this event can somehow go on at a later date this year. Stay tuned for updates. Thank you.

How does it work?
Helping One Guy (HOG) hosts dinners in Kennesaw, Georgia at NorthStar Church. Every other month, we honor men and their families, who are experiencing the most challenging crisis of their life.
Examples of their crisis could be a terminal illness, loss of an immediate family member, or some other non-material tragedy. Each chapter has one recipient, every other month. The HOG Dinner is a time to show support and encouragement to each month's recipient and his family.
Please share this newsletter with others so we can increase our attendees and donations to our recipients. Remind them to check their "junk" email folders just in case the newsletter gets directed there so they don't miss it! You can
GIVE NOW
to the next recipient and it's tax deductible.
