Tom has been a small business owner of a custom construction business for over 30 years, dedicating his life to helping others improve their homes and lives. He has always been the first to lend a hand, whether it was finishing concrete or offering extra help to those in need. Over the years, the physical demands of his work have taken a toll on his body, but Tom continued to put others first, pouring his energy into his business and his community.

Recently, Tom's health began to decline despite his efforts to take better care of himself. On Wednesday, April 22nd, his hip gave out unexpectedly, and he was rushed to the hospital. Now, he is unable to walk at all and is facing an emergency hip replacement. Tom lives on the third floor of his apartment complex, making it impossible for him to return home in his current condition. With few family members nearby and only a handful of friends able to help, his recovery will be especially challenging.

Tom's business has slowed, and the lack of steady work means he cannot cover the mounting hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, and the expenses of keeping his business afloat. This fundraiser is an effort to soften the blow of the medical bills that Medicare will not cover and to help Tom secure a safe place to recover after surgery. Your help, prayers, and support will go so far in these discouraging times. Any contribution will make a meaningful difference for Tom as he faces this difficult journey.
