As reggae, dancehall, and gospel communities in Jamaica and overseas continue to send well wishes and make donations to Lt. Stitchie, some within those groups are going even further. For example, Richie Stephens, a longtime friend of The Dancehall Governor, is among those who, in addition to contributing to Stitchie‘s rehabilitation journey, is also headlining a concert from which all proceeds will go towards the Lieutenant Stitchie Foundation Fund.
The event, dubbed Richie for Stitchie, will be presented on Friday, November 29th, at Seven Star Lounge (2017 West Howard Street) in Chicago, Illinois. It will also feature the Indika Reggae Band and musical juggling by the world-immortal Stone Love Sound. Starting time is 8:00 p.m., and general admission tickets are US$30.00.
Lt. Stitchie has recently suffered a severe brain hemorrhage that initially made him unresponsive. However, his condition is improving. According to his wife Sophia Laing, “he’s hearing, his eyes are open, he responds to voices that he knows, and he is on the road to recovery.” That said, they are still seeking financial help to cover his medical expenses.
