“Madju-terus pantang mundur.”
A Capital Region treasure, who has made dining in the area a pleasure for decades, has come to a point where he needs our help, and if anyone is reading this who might be in a position to give something valuable back, please take the time to visit this post.
Chef Yono Purnomo, famed proprietor of Yono’s, has end-stage renal failure and is in need of a kidney transplant. For someone who has always given back so much to his community, it is likely a strange and new sensation to be the one in need. For the rest of us who have benefited from his hospitality and warmth and welcoming disposition, this is an opportunity to reward that service, while saving a life and helping a family keep their beloved father, husband, and grandfather.
Please share this and spread the word, and if you or someone you know are interested in becoming a donor, you may contact Live Donor Coordinator Jessica Martin at 518-262-4602. (The FaceBook page for ‘Yono Needs a Kidney’ may be found here.)
“My father always told me it doesn’t matter who you love or where you live, you must always believe in yourself. Follow your heart and be patient. Adapt yourself to your new surroundings. Be humble, kind and determined.” ~ Yono Purnomo
