Fundraiser Launched for Lisa McKenzie’s Urgent Medical Treatment
HUNTSVILLE, TX — In an impressive display of community solidarity, residents of Huntsville and Walker County are banding together to support Kevin and Lisa McKenzie, owners of the renowned McKenzie’s BBQ on 11th Street, who are facing a serious health crisis. The McKenzies, known for their deep roots and generous hearts in the community, are confronting a challenging situation following Lisa McKenzie’s recent medical diagnosis.
The couple, celebrated for their contributions to the community through their business and charitable works, are grappling with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. After closing their Madisonville outlet to focus on their Huntsville location, the financial pressures resulted in the loss of their health insurance. Lisa McKenzie’s recent diagnosis of a large tumor on her left adrenal gland has compounded these challenges, necessitating expensive medical treatment estimated at $100,000, with a substantial portion required upfront.
In response to this urgent need, the community has initiated a fundraiser to support the McKenzie family. Contributions can be made online through First Baptist Church Huntsville at fbchuntsville.org/lisa-mckenzie. In addition, a BBQ Fundraiser event will be held on Sunday, December 3rd, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at McKenzie’s BBQ on 11th Street in Huntsville. The event will offer chopped beef sack lunches, available for sale by donation.
This fundraiser is not just a call for financial assistance; it’s a testament to the McKenzie family’s enduring impact on the Huntsville community. Known for living a life guided by faith and generosity, as epitomized by the verse Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” the McKenzies have now become the recipients of the community’s kindness and support.
The community’s involvement in this fundraiser reflects the strong bonds and caring spirit of Huntsville. Organizers are encouraging everyone to contribute in any way they can, underscoring the belief that collective efforts can bring about significant change and support for those in need.
The fundraiser, both online and through the BBQ event, offers an opportunity for the community to give back to a family that has always stood ready to help others. It’s a moment for Huntsville to show its true colors of compassion and unity in supporting one of its own in a time of need.
