Help give Tom Hope

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Rev. Andrew Barraza Jr., and I'm trying to raise funds to help out my Tio Tom. My Tio Tom worked as a commercial sewing machine technician and salesman for 43 years at the same company and would still be working there today if his conditions didn't get as bad as they are. In 2022, he was diagnosed with degenerative osteoarthritis in both knees and shoulders. With the help of doctors and medication, he was able to continue to work despite his eventual loss of movement in his legs, relying solely on his wheelchair. His condition worsened when he started developing open wounds on his legs and heels, which led to him having to have surgery on his heels and ultimately being hospitalized. In February of 2025, while in the hospital, he was forced to retire, and his insurance ran out, prompting an early exit from the rehab center and back into his home where he lives with his daughter and granddaughter. Now at age 62 and with no health insurance or income coming in, his bills are starting to pile up, and his house isn't really suitable for someone in his condition. I'm trying to raise some funds to help him get a well-needed hospital bed and to help keep him afloat for a while, or at least until his Disability and Medicare hopefully kick in. My Tio has always been there for me and anyone who ever asked him for anything, so trying to help him out is the least we can do. Thank you for reading this, and if you can, please help; anything will help out a lot. If you can't help out financially, I ask if you can please say a prayer for him. Thank you for your time, and may the Lord bless your life.
