Hello, My name is Chris Lester one of Tom Barbera's many good friends. This page has been set up to help support our good friend Tom "Tommy" Barbera. Tom for the past three years has been fighting a rare diesese called Cardiac Sarcoidosis.
Cardiac sarcoidosis is a rare disease in which clusters of white blood cells, called granulomas, form in the tissue of the heart. Any part of the heart can be affected, though these cell clusters most often form in the heart muscle where they can interfere with the heart’s electrical system (conduction defects) and cause irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). Cardiac sarcoidosis can also result in heart failure. A little over a year ago Tom had a Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator installed to help with the arrhythmias. Although the diffibrillator is helping Tommy, it is not the fix. Tom will ultimately need a heart transplant. The last month has been very hard on Tom and his family with more than a few Cardiac episodes. Tom is the owner and Chief Mechanic of East Fork Pro Marine in Hamlin NY. Tommy for years has repaired many of our community boats including the many fishing vessals at Sandy creek. Tom is that guy who puts the personal and trust worthy touch in his work. Tom has never hesitated to help anyone of us fisherman when we needed a repair in a hurry. Tom always makes sure we were back on the water quickly.
The battle has taken Tommy away from his buisness and has put a strain on him and his family with the mounting medical and financial bills. Its now our turn to give back to Tom and help him, Please consider a monetary donation to help Tom and his family.
Thank you.
