Benefit dinner set to help Blaise with medical needs

ROBBIE BLAISE

BRISTOL — In 2011 Bristol resident Robbie Blaise, who has a hereditary kidney disease, suffered a series of medical events that exacerbated his condition. Blaise, who has lost one kidney, is now losing function in his remaining kidney. To assist Blaise with his ongoing medical needs and to bring awareness to his desperate need of a kidney, the Masons of Libanus Lodge 47 in Bristol will be hosting a curbside Chicken ‘N’ Biscuit Dinner on Saturday, March 29. All proceeds will go to Robbie and his family.

Blaise is a lifelong Bristol resident in his early 40’s. His troubles began with a brain aneurism in 2011. During the surgery, a clot caused a stroke which left him able to speak, but his left side was nonfunctional. He spent a year in the hospital and then went to an assisted living facility. After another year, he was able to return home, where his parents had made their home ADA compliant.

The Masons invite all to join in their efforts to help Blaise at this critical time. To make reservations for the chicken ‘n’ biscuit supper please call 802-453-4877 or email [email protected].
