To all staff and friends of WBT,
I have the unfortunate task of coming to you today with some heartbreaking news. One of our beloved tour guides, Mac, has been diagnosed with cancer.
Due to his intense treatment plan, he is currently unable to work for the foreseeable future. While WBT is a business, I have always prided myself on treating all of our guides with basic human decency, including stable income and benefits. While we are providing Mac with as much assistance as possible right now, we could use your help.
I am reaching out to encourage everyone who has ever been blessed by the joy Mac brings and has experienced his love for his job, his city, and his tour guests to help if they can. Those who know him well will not be surprised to find out that he has been using humor to help him get through this, the most difficult thing he has ever faced. I can't begin to tell you how many dark jokes Mac has told us in the past few months-- leave it to Mac to find humor in the darkness.
Mac has been keeping this to himself for a while now; only his inner circle knows the full details of what's going on. He is only reaching out for help now because it is greatly needed. Mac has brought so much joy to so many people experiencing New Orleans for the first time-- let's come together and do our best to support him through this difficult time.
If you are financially able and would like to assist Mac during this time, please do so. I've included links and QR codes to his online payment platforms. When donating, Mac’s name will appear as Douglas Mackar.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this. Your support is deeply appreciated, regardless of donation. Scare you later 👻 - Jordan
