Go have some coffee and support our AMAZING volunteer Jackie Mattingly!!!
Details below!

After five years of volunteering and taking photos at Eastern, I decided it was time to share them with the world (or at least a few coffee drinkers). If you are anywhere near Day's Expresso Coffee shop on Bardstown Road in the Highlands, drop in and have a look. Here are a couple of examples.

Friends,
Tommy Baker, the driving force behind our documentary, Facing East, and his family have lost nearly everything including some beloved pets in a house fire. Thankfully they are all okay, but they need our help!!! Please take a minute and donate any amount you can to help them get through this difficult time.
To be clear, Tommy is the reason that the story of Eastern Cemetery has seen by so many people around the world. He has helped our cause immensely by getting the word out and now it’s our turn to help him.

PLEASE DONATE AND SHARE!!!
