Tanner is my beloved nephew, and he truly means the world to me. He’s a devoted father and a hardworking man who always puts his young family first. Over the past year, Tanner has faced unimaginable challenges. He suffered severe injuries to his right knee, including tears to his ACL, LCL, and PCL, a fractured fibula, and a torn perineal nerve. After a long and difficult recovery, he was finally able to get back to enjoying life with his daughter. Tragically, while playing with her, Tanner fractured the tibial plate in the same knee, which required a second surgery.

Now, Tanner’s doctors have recommended stem cell therapy as the best hope for regaining mobility and improving his quality of life. Unfortunately, this treatment is not covered by his medical insurance, and the out-of-pocket costs are overwhelming. The funds raised here will go directly toward Tanner’s medical bills for stem cell therapy, giving him the chance to heal and return to the life he loves with his family.

Tanner is a good man who has always worked hard to support those he loves. I’m reaching out to ask for your help—any support you can give will make a real difference. As a small token of thanks, anyone who donates will receive a free calendar, lovingly (and hilariously) AI-generated by my friend Ryan, featuring monthly photos of me as the Gordan fish stick guy, a ship’s captain, or even riding a dolphin. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. Together, we can help Tanner get back to being able to really enjoy activities with his family.
