As a cult film director, I spent years chasing monsters on screen, watching the bad guys get what they deserved. But now, a new monster—spinal cancer—has entered my life, and it looks like this is one monster I may not be able to defeat. I have chosen the quiet, peaceful path of in-home hospice care, which keeps me pain-free and comfortable. However, hospice care and insurance do not cover the 24/7 personal care I need, such as hygiene, bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and bedtime assistance.

This GoFundMe is my request for help. Donations will allow me to afford essential personal care services that are not covered, helping me maintain comfort and dignity during this challenging time. Your support will ease the financial burden placed upon me and make a real difference as I navigate these final days.

If you are able to contribute, I am deeply grateful for your kindness and generosity. Thank you for standing with me as I face this new monster. Please don't let the "Suggested Donation" amount discourage you. Those amounts are generated by GoFundMe, but you are welcome to give any amount that feels right for you. Whether it's $5, $10, $25, or more, every single donation helps

Thank you,

Tom
