Assist with Tommy's Cremation and Memorial Expenses

Donation protected
On March 2nd 2025, i got a call i never wanted to get, my brother Tommy had been in a motorcycle accident arounf 10pm and is in critical care. We rushed to the hospital where we were told he had several breaks, a collapsed lung, and a very critical brain injury with severe bleeding on the brain.

Tommy needed emergency craniectomy surgery, which removed bone from the skull in order to allow the brain to swell against the skin rather than the skull; in hopes it wouldn’t cause the brain tissue to die. After surviving the surgery, he has spent the last week in trauma ICU where the hospital staff worked to keep his stats where they needed to be while we prayed for a miracle.

Yesterday they were able to do an MRI which confirmed massive brain damage.. tearing from top to bottom. We were told that he will never wake up and best case scenario is he will be a vegetable. That is not a life Tommy would ever want and so as a family we made the decision to place him on DNR and told them we just want him comfortable. His family was with him the entire time and after we got the MRI results I told him that he didn't have to fight anymore. That he fought a hell of a fight but he could let go. Almost immediately after his HR jumped over 200 (where had been consistently in low 40s) and he went "brain dead". Several people have reached out asking how to help financially. Tommy will be cremated and put in family plot with our mom. I would also like to get a hand mold for Lilli. The cremation, name stone and mold will be several thousand dollars. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.
