Please join me in sending Antonio some love today!

My friend Greg just shared that Antonio is in the fight of his life and could use our support:

“Hey Kaitlyn, you helped us tremendously last time and I’d love your help again. Please see below and let me know if you can help!

“Antonio has always taken very good care of himself, has never smoked or drank. Despite this, he was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and on top of that he was laid off about a week ago.

As founder & owner of Antonio Athens Professional Septic and Drain, Antonio always sponsored a recreation department team every season. He also helped coach his daughter’s teams for almost a decade after long days of pumping septic tanks. Antonio is actively involved in his church (Victory Chapel) where he leads a recovery ministry, is a part of the church council, an usher, a leader of the drama team, and a part of several evangelistic outreaches. Antonio also teaches bible studies for the UGA campus ministry where his beautiful daughters are pursuing their undergraduate degrees. He’s one of the most influential, charismatic, and loving people I have ever met in my entire life!

The Martin family is devastated, scared, and facing an uncertain future yet still remain strong, positive, and faithful in the Lord Jesus Christ. Antonio is a warrior and determined to win this battle so he can continue to do what he does best - love & serve God by loving & serving his neighbor.

Antonio has given his time, money, and heart to his neighbors, family, and community for his entire adult life. He’s earned and is beyond deserving of our prayers, emotional, and financial support.”
