Dear Jody B’s Dance Families,
We are reaching out to ask for your help in supporting a very special family in our dance community. Mikaela, Alexa, and Juliana are dancers at our studio, and their dad, Dave, has been hospitalized since April 27 following Whipple surgery and numerous post-operative complications.
As you can imagine, this has been an incredibly difficult time for the entire Sleight family. We would love to come together as a dance family community to show them how much they are loved and supported.
