Father In Need Of Facial Reconstruction

Donation protected
Thomas is a father of two beautiful daughters, ages 3 and 1. He is the sole provider for his family working two jobs while also attending college full time to achieve his degree in Biomedical Engineering.

In late October of this year Thomas began to experience pain in his tooth which he thought would require a simple dental procedure. Unfortunately, after a 3D scan of his head they found a radicular cyst which has grown to 1.2in by 1in. It has begun to destroy part of the bone in his face. Right now, aside from the pain, he has lost the integrity in the structure of his facial bones.
Thomas is in immediate need of cyst removal. Once the cyst is removed it will need to be tested for cancer. He will also need facial reconstruction due to the placement of the cyst in the nasal cavity. None of which is covered by Thomas’s insurance, and this is not something that can be put off, giving time to save up. Any more bone loss could be detrimental.


He is not the kind of person to ask for help (during all of this even he is still working both jobs and still attending classes) he is the kind that is always there help others without ever thinking of himself. However, in this case he is the one that needs our help. We are hoping that friends, family, and anyone Thomas has helped over the years may be able to help him now as he needs it.

We are requesting $6,000 to cover the cyst extraction, facial reconstruction to repair the hole in his skull left by the cyst, and multiple root canals which will need to be completed to ensure that the cyst does not reoccur and to restore the structural integrity of his face.
