I first met Aaron when I hired him at Pioneer Plumbing, and from day one, he was a pleasure to work with—an absolute goofball with a heart of gold. Aaron has always been the kind of person to bring light to any room, the one to crack a joke and make everyone laugh, and the friend who would do anything for those around him.

Unfortunately, despite having such a kind and strong heart, his own heart has been failing him. Aaron is now in end-stage heart failure, facing an incredibly difficult road ahead. Between hospital stays, medications, and treatments, his medical bills have piled up significantly.

Aaron has been given roughly one year with his current heart and will need a transplant within that time to continue living a normal life. He has a wonderful girlfriend who has been by his side through it all, and two little kids, ages 3 and 4, who adore their dad.

As his manager and as someone who knows the genuine, hardworking person Aaron is, nothing would make me happier than seeing our community—both in the trades and beyond—come together to support him and his family.

If you can help in any way, whether through donations, sharing this message, or simply keeping Aaron in your thoughts, it would mean the world to him and those who love him. Let’s come together for one of our own and help Aaron get the second chance he deserves.
