Over the past two years, what began as a simple blister turned into a life‑threatening infection for Tony. Because he has Celiac disease, his body already struggles with inflammation and healing. Without consistent access to a proper gluten‑free diet — something that became impossible during financial hardship — his ability to recover was severely compromised. The result was devastating: multiple surgeries, the amputation of his big toe, acute sepsis, bone infection, and long hospital stays. Through it all, Tony kept trying to work and survive. Recently, he made another courageous decision: he entered alcohol treatment in Houston. In two weeks, he will complete the program and transition into a sober living home for the next three months. He is sober. Clear‑headed. And committed to rebuilding his life. But he is starting over with almost nothing — just a couple of outfits and very limited resources. We are raising funds to help cover his move into sober living and provide basic necessities — clothing, shoes, phone service, and the ability to maintain a proper gluten‑free diet so his body can continue healing. Many of you have supported Tony before. That helped him survive. This support will help him rebuild. If you’re able to contribute — at any level — it will make a real difference in giving him a stable, sober foundation. And if you can’t give, sharing this message means just as much. Let’s help Tony land on his feet — healthy, sober, and with a real chance forward.
