One thing I love about folks in Southwest Louisiana is that when someone is in need or a family is in need, people here rally around them to help each other out. Such is the case for Blake Matt.

This is the case for Blake Matt. Friends and family have gotten together and are putting on a benefit for the late Blake Matt.

Blake went into a local hospital with two infectious blood diseases and spent over a month in ICU before he was airlifted to New Orleans where he died two weeks later at the age of 39.

He leaves behind a son, Keaton, and a lot of bills due to his stay in the hospital. You can just imagine how much the life flight to New Orleans cost alone. The benefit is taking place to help offset the medical expenses and a college fund for his only son.
