Hosted by “Friends of Lorenza” at HOUSTON MEDIA SOURCE
at 7305 Navigation Houston TX 770011
Anyone who has known Lorenza Butler, Jr., the amazing handicapped Publisher Emeritus of the Houston Informer and Texas Freeman Newspaper, will not easily forget him.Lorenza continues to astonish normal humans with his sparkling personality and amazing resilience.
Publisher Butler is currently being maintained at his father's home through the goodness and generosity of friends. The publisher didn't think he would actually be alive to celebrate his 65th birthday—and it has been touch-and-go for the past 2 years (he received last rites from the priest 3 times!). He has now asked us to organize a birthday celebration for him. We are stretched thin, but hope many of you can help make it happen. Any funds left over from the party will be used to pay his monthly mortgage and help us keep him as comfortable as possible under the circumstances.
