BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – IN an effort to further acquire money to cover the medical bill for 26-year-old paralysed Keys resident Dion Berry, a third fundraiser in the form of a Cash Bar would be held on Saturday (April. 6) in Upper Phillips’ Village by Winnie’s Shop in vicinity of ‘the bridge’.
This media house was informed that Berry’s friends from the villages of Keys, Phillips’, Molineaux, Ottley’s, Cayon and Lodge have come together to promote the venture.
Inna Hytes Sounds will provide entertainment at the event, which is scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m.
Speaking under condition of anonymity, one of the key organisers of the event is appealing to members of the public to come out and support the worthy cause.
Asked if persons can bring monetary donations at the Cash Bar, he advised that monies would only be collected through the Cash Bar operation.
“This event is not one for people to come and give money. There will be a stocked bar with food like ital, cook-up and fish soup, and so persons can make their contributions by supporting the food and drinks bars.”
Persons desirous of contributing to Dion Berry’s Medical Fund can do so by visiting http://janelleberry.com/dion.html.
On Tuesday (Mar. 26), Berry, accompanied by his mother, Victoria ‘Vicki’ Berry, departed the Federation for Trinidad.
In a recent interview with the young man’s father, Bruce Berry, he informed that his son has already undergone surgery and is undergoing a lot of therapy sessions.
Following a diving accident at Major’s Bay at the South East Peninsula on Sunday, March 3, 2013, Berry unfortunately fractured his neck.
The overall cost for his medical treatment is approximately US$85 000.
The senior Berry informed that he would be travelling to Trinidad on Saturday.
