Help! Thomas needs support while with Mom!!!

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

My heart is heavy as I write this. My mother is currently in the ICU at Jackson Hospital in Montgomery, Alabama. She’s on a ventilator, battling pneumonia, while also struggling with cirrhosis of the liver. As her only child, I find myself in the heartbreaking position of having to prepare for her passing.

Now, in what feels like an unimaginable nightmare, I’m faced with not only the emotional pain but also the responsibility of traveling to be by her side, making arrangements, and handling the financial burden of it all. In addition to travel costs and staying in Montgomery, I will also need have food and transportation while here.

I desperately want to be with her, to hold her hand, and to say goodbye—something no child should ever have to do alone. But I’m struggling financially to make this happen.

I’m humbly asking for help to cover these expenses, which include travel, accommodations, and funeral costs. Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to me and would allow me to focus on being with my mom in her final moments.

If you’re unable to donate, I would be forever grateful if you could share this page with others. Every share, every prayer, and every kind word makes a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion and generosity in this incredibly difficult time.

With deep gratitude,

Thomas Califf
