Billy Sparks, to replace truck, mower & tools

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Christine Sparks Gilbert. I am raising money for my brother, Billy Sparks, who had his truck, trailer, lawn equipment and tools stolen on 7/27/22.

Billy has had many struggles over the years, beginning when he lost his leg in a motorcycle accident when he was 15, finding out he has Tourette's Syndrome and many surgeries throughout his life. He recently had to have a large cyst surgically removed twice and is still in recovery and unable to wear his prosthetic leg. In addition, using crutches causes him pain with every step. But he continues to work every day to help support his family.

On May 7, 2022, Billy lost his stepdaughter, Ashley, who was living with him at the time, to murder by her ex-boyfriend. Billy is in the process of adopting Ashley's daughter to give her a secure, loving home and ensure she is raised with family.

Billy owns a lawn care business and has been doing quite well. He often hires homeless people and others down on their luck to help on larger projects. He serves the Lord and remains faithful.

On July 27, 2022, around 7:00 pm, his truck, trailer, lawn equipment and tools were stolen while he was dining in a restaurant in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after a hard work day. Not only did the thieves take his truck and equipment, but they also took his business, transportation and livelihood. Some of the tools in his truck were ones he had been collecting since the 1980s. The cost to replace the tools alone will be astronomical.

I'm asking everyone to please donate what they can to help Billy replace what he lost. He needs to replace everything so he can continue supporting his family. So any amount you can send would be helpful. But please, share this with friends and family to help us get the word out. Ask your friends and family to share it too.
