As some of you know, Austin recently spent close to 2 weeks in the hospital after one minor procedure followed by one very serious and lengthy surgery. He had to have a gallstone removed from a bile duct, then have his gallbladder removed, and also they found a rather large and nasty infection in his abdomen, which took a large team of surgeons around 12 hours to clean up. Austin is home now and still has a very long recovery road ahead of him. He has a minimum of 4 weeks before he can return to work, but it will likely be longer.

In the meantime, he still has to somehow cover the cost of rent, utilities, his car payment and insurance, groceries for himself, his girlfriend, and their cat, as well as start paying off some of his medical bills. His girlfriend is working, but covering all the bills on her own just isn't going to happen. With all that said, we're asking that you guys please chip in as much as your heart tells you and your budget allows, even if it's just $5. Austin doesn't come from a family with money, so unfortunately, there is very little they can do to help get him through. Thank you for whatever help you can offer, even if it's just prayers for a quick recovery!
