Hi, my name is Tariq Escoffery and I'm writing this in hopes of raising money to have my ruptured Achilles tendon repaired. This injury prevented me from starting my new job and cut my time at my previous job short, as it occurred during my job transition. Consequently, I am now unemployed and in need of an expensive medical procedure.

I am a dog dad to an amazing 4-year old Pitbull, who has sadly been missing out on our long walks to the dog park because I am unable to walk. Without this surgery, my injury is predicted to cause long-term effects to my ability to walk, run, and really just live my daily life, because my MRI showed a 100% rupture of the tendon.

Unfortunately, this surgery has to be paid in full prior to the operation itself, and due to my family's current circumstances we are unable to come up with such a large amount at this time. Any donations or reposts are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
