Help Sean Heal & Support His 6yr Old Daughter Post-Surgery
Donation protected
Sean’s Story:
Our friend and Lazy Lobster teammate, Sean Swaskee, has been through more than anyone should ever have to endure. Sean is not only a dedicated and hardworking server but also a single father to a beautiful 6-year-old girl who is his world.
Two years ago, Sean suffered a serious leg fracture that required surgery. He was unable to work for eight months and had no income during that time. Despite the financial hardship, Sean kept pushing forward, relying on the kindness of friends to provide a place to live for him and his daughter.
Just as things were beginning to improve, Sean faced a life-or-death medical crisis this summer. He was rushed into emergency surgery after developing perforated diverticulitis with abscess and sepsis. Doctors told him bluntly: without surgery, he would not survive.
Thankfully, Sean pulled through the surgery, but the road since has been incredibly difficult. His body is still healing from the trauma, and he remains in severe pain and unable to work. Recovery will take months, leaving him once again without income — and with mounting medical bills, rent, and the daily costs of raising his little girl.
Why We’re Asking for Your Help:
Sean has always been the one to serve others — both at work and as a devoted father. Now it’s our turn to step up and support him.
Your donations will go directly toward:
- Covering medical bills from his life-saving surgery
- Helping Sean pay rent and living expenses during his recovery
- Supporting his 6-year-old daughter through this challenging time
Every gift, no matter the size, will help Sean focus on healing and being there for his daughter without the crushing weight of financial worry.
How You Can Help:
- Donate what you can — every contribution makes a difference.
- Share this fundraiser with friends, family, and on social media.
- Encourage Sean with your words of support — messages mean the world during recovery.
Sean is a fighter, and with our help, he and his daughter can get through this crisis. Thank you for being part of Sean’s support system and for giving generously.
