Tom has been a hard worker for his entire adult life, working in construction and restoration to help countless families in our area after they've faced disasters. Now, after bursting two discs in his lower back, Tom is facing a major surgery and a long road to recovery. His injury has left him unable to work, and as the primary source of income for our family, this has put us in a very difficult position.

We've already gone two months without a paycheck. Our savings are gone, we're deferring our mortgage payments, relying on the food bank, and have cut all unnecessary purchases and payments just to get by. Tom's surgery is scheduled for June 17, 2026, but after that, he'll need at least eight more weeks to recover before he can return to work. We need help desperately to pay his insurance premium (so they can cover part of the surgery), the cost of the surgery itself, and to cover our basic living expenses during his recovery.

If you know Tom, you know how much he has given to others in their times of need. Now, we're asking for help in ours. Any support you can give—no matter how small—will make a huge difference for our family as we navigate this challenging time. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.
