I (Leslie) write this letter to inform you of a dear friend and family member of ours that has fallen on troubled times in regards to personal health and wellness.   

As some of you may already know DJ CAMACHO has been enduring a lengthy illness. He has been battling diabetes and hypertension for several years. Coincidentally, exactly around this time last year the HOUSE FAMILY assisted DJ CAMACHO with a successful fund raiser that enabled Dave Camacho to pay many outstanding debts.

Since last March of 2007 for Camacho has been uncompromising. He has been in and out of the hospital due to diabetic attacks and various illnesses related to this disease. To add to his illness, in early December Camacho suffered a minor heart attack.

Needless to say, stubborn ass Camacho endured this painful experience but at a strenuous price. Many of us saw how devastating the diabetes and this new condition were not only physically debilitating but mentally as well.

Bringing in the New Year Camacho looked to be bouncing back but had a slight bout with pneumonia in the early part of February of 2008. Several days later he had his second minor heart attack in less than 2 months. Well to our dismay, more disheartening news would come Camacho’s way. This past Easter Sunday Camacho’s grieving daughter Tia called me and Urbi with news that her father David Camacho has yet suffered a 3rd minor heart attack in less than 3 months. Importantly, a stent was placed on the right side of his heart to assist the surrounding arteries. To add injury to insult, he has also lost his apartment and needs to salvage his personal items by way of storage. This has to happen immediately so that all is not lost. (studio equipment, records, personal belongings and mementos, etc.) Camacho needs the HELP of his House Music Family immediately. A few of us are committed to not only supporting him by means of prayer, well wishes, cards, flowers, etc. But also to assist him financially in his time of need.

Let us come together in Camacho’s time of crisis to assist him once again? SPIRITUALLY and FINANCIALLY!!

What we are asking for is monetary donations!! 

We have pledged an initial donation to jump start the process and will do whatever is necessary to secure his personal belongings and a new living situation.  If you would like more info in regards to Camacho and assisting him you can call Les or Urbi at 973-672-7140.

You can also email us at lesjeudy@comcast.net or urbi@comcast.net
