I'm Tom and my family and I could use some help.

I had a life-altering spinal injury in 2020 which led to a 12 mm disc herniation with the threat of my spinal cord severing.

It's been a long 4 years of multiple procedures, physical therapy, MRIs., X-Rays, CT scans, and trips to emergency rooms. After exhausting everything, I'm ready to have a spinal fusion that will finally allow me to live without pain or limitation with just enough recovery time before my second child is born in late August.

This injury has taken so much from my life. Mostly, affecting my ability to work consistently which has put tremendous financial pressure on me and my family. Your help will ease the burden of recent and upcoming hospital bills and expenses we've had to endure while being handicapped. It'll also allow us to get a little help with Rowan and the new baby while I recover.

With the help of Dr. Gregory Lekovic and the team at UCLA Medical Center, I'm so excited to begin my journey to living life again. No more canes or mobility scooters, missed holidays or terribly dark and discouraging days. Natasha and I are so hopeful this will be the ticket to real and true relief.

Thank you for your help. -Tom
