Alley Oop to Mr. Omerza
Donation protected
Tim was diagnosed with Cancer in October of 2024 and has been receiving treatment throughout the winter.
With the end of treatment in sight we have a better understanding of the financial impact of the diagnosis. We are grateful that the impact has been minimal thanks to a strong insurance benefit and an abundance of PTO built up.
Many have asked how they can help, and while Tim is managing well, one challenge he faces is the loss of income from refereeing football and coaching basketball —roles he loves but had to step back from while focusing on his health. He has also missed the opportunity to participate in a paid teacher improvement program run through the school.
We're reaching out to ask for your help in making up lost wages Tim would have received refereeing football, coaching basketball during the treatment period, and missing the teacher improvement plan.
All donations will help alleviate the stress of medical expenses, including deductibles and tests not covered by insurance. Any contribution, big or small, is deeply appreciated, and if all you can offer is encouragement, that means just as much. Thank you for being part of Tim's team—he can’t wait to be back on the court and in the classroom, doing what he loves.
