My name is Matthew Tucker, the 3rd oldest brother of Eddie Jr. Tucker. He is 30 years old and had a friend named Keaton Mathis. Eddie and Keaton were friends since high school. Eddie always considered Keaton his best friend. Well, he was far from even being a friend. Eddie believed the two of them were friends, but time after time, it was a letdown to Eddie. Keaton would make him upset every time he came home. Eddie loved talking to Keaton, but as I said, Keaton was not a real friend. In fact, he was an enemy, repeatedly using Eddie for his money and turning against his own family.

Here comes the sickening part of all this. Eddie hadn't heard from Keaton in years. Keaton came back into Eddie's life, convincing him to move with him to Bowling Green, KY. Eddie was led on into thinking this was a good move. Well, no, it wasn't. Eddie got a job at Walmart, getting paid $1,000 bi-weekly, but he didn't see a dime of his own hard-earned money! Keep in mind, Eddie is not your regular adult and didn't know any better. Keaton conned him out of all of his paychecks, took his card, and Eddie had no access to any of his money. If that wasn't enough, it gets sicker. He opened a credit card in Eddie's name and even took money out of his 401k. We are not sure how much money he took, but Eddie does not know any better. Keaton tricked him into thinking this would be a great life.

Eddie called my mom and dad, very unhappy and crying. Eddie had been working his Walmart shifts, coming home to nothing to eat, and was basically starved to death. Now he's in the hospital in critical condition because of this situation. Going two weeks without eating is not a good thing. Keaton did not care one bit for Eddie's health status. Eddie was close to death. Had he not called my mom and dad, he would not be with us. But this has caused a lot of health problems, and it's not fair. All Eddie wanted was a friend, and Keaton was not one.

I'm putting this up because Eddie is going to need all the help he can get with hospital bills. We are not sure what's all going to happen. His heart and kidneys are failing from starvation. So please pray, and if you can, every little bit helps. Please donate if you can. Thanks, much love from the Tucker family as we navigate through this.
