Hello, My name is Howard Garcia I am starting this campaign on behalf of my very good friend Gustavo T also known as "BIG GUS" from Spike TV's Tattoo Nightmare's. Anyone who knows "BIG GUS" knows that he is one of the most caring and always willing to give help to anyone in need.
This Go Fund Me campaign will be to help my good friend with his upcoming surgery.
Since I have known Gus he has always involved himself with raising money for many different causes weather it be curating fundraisers or creating art shows with help from the many artist in his tattoo community.
His involvements have been from the heart with love and appreciation for the opportunity to give back to the community. Working with the Autism community raising money for charities like Blooming with Autism, Autism Awareness, Walk for Autism and Blind Children’s foundation of Tustin.
He has a big heart and has done his best to always give back but now it's Gus that needs help.

  Over the years, Gus's health has slowly taken a turn for the worse, and now he has no choice but to have a life changing surgery to give him a better chance at health.

We are starting this GoFundMe to help Gus out with cost of his surgery expenses, as well as his time he needs to recover.  This surgery won't be easy but with his family, friends, and support from everyone, we know he can make it through this! Life gets hard, nothing is easy, but we know with his hard work and dedication, this is something that is saving his life.

Any amount you can donate is GREATLY appreciated and no amount is too small. If you are unable to contribute I please ask that you just share this post. I want everyone to know that he will always continue to pay it forward. We sincerely thank you all for your time.
