William is creating this fundraiser for Thomas Banks, his father, and for their family after a severe car accident changed everything in an instant. Thomas was on the way to work when the accident happened, and the cause is still unknown. What should have been an ordinary day became a devastating medical and financial crisis. If Thomas survives, he is expected to be paralyzed from the waist down, have extremely limited use of his left arm, and may need a ventilator for the rest of his life. This has been a heartbreaking shock for a family that was already struggling and hoping that Thomas’s new job would finally bring some stability after only a few weeks of work.

The support raised will help Thomas’s family cover everyday essentials like bills, food, and transportation while also providing some financial security for William’s mother, who is visually disabled. Thomas and his family do not have retirement savings, and William has been searching for work since graduating from university but has not yet been able to find a job. William feels ashamed to ask for help, but this tragedy was completely unexpected and the future feels painfully uncertain. Please consider helping with a donation of any size, and if you are unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would mean so much. Every act of support will help Thomas Banks and his family feel less alone during this overwhelming time.
