Jime Litwalk's Recovery Fund

Internationally known Tattoo Artist, Jime Litwalk, needs your help and we, Friends and Family, have set up this Fundraiser to cover his medical and cost of living while he is recovering from surgery on his leg and out of work for a few months.  Tattooing is a commission based career and we only get payed per job, per session; and if we can't come to work, we don't make money to support our families. Hopefully Jime will be back in business ASAP but his recovery could take weeks to months of relearning how to walk, he can't drive, and his wounds for quite some time are exposed so even suffering thru trying to operate his tattoo gear, these wounds are exposed to cross contamination.

Any little bit helps, whether it be a few dollars a friend, or even a kind word and show of support.

"I have been training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu on and off for about 9 years.  Because my traveling schedule didn't have me home for to long so I wasn't able to dedicate the time to jiu-jitsu like I should or wanted to but even over the years I would always try and take my GI with me and try and find a spot to train or others to train with One of my best friends, Tattoo Artist Josh Ford, got me into jiu-jitsu and has always been an influence in Jiu-Jitsu and in life in general, but the school I started at was Warrior Way in Michigan and still will always be one of my favorite schools.  In 2006 I moved the family to Las Vegas where I worked for 6 years and again because of my work schedule I was only able to train every once and a while and in 2012 I moved cross country again landing in Orlando Florida, and still with a pretty heavy traveling schedule I made it a conscious effort to make Jiu-Jitsu more apart of my life, training at some great schools here in Orlando but making 6 LEVELS in Winter Garden my place I called home I went in as much as I could training 3 to 4 times a week where I was giving my purple belt by JON BURKE who is one of Roice Gracie's first American black belts

On September 29th I suffered a freak accident where I broke my tibia and fibula resulting in having a titanium rod put in my leg along with a few screws to hold in place lol, I have a long road to recovery with physical therapy a few times a week along with a few rides in a fancy ambulance to two different hospitals and a lovely 5 nights -6 days stay in the hospital it helped me rack up quite a hefty medical bills and even with a speedy recovery I am looking to be out of work for quite some time,  needing roughly about 5,500 a month for the family bills.  During all of this I have had some great support from my family and friends and my coworkers at Ascension Tattoo, going above and beyond to help me in my time of need. To all the ones who have sent me get well messages and came to see me I want you all to know that from the depths of my heart how I truly appreciate it and means the world to me the you have taken the time to think of me and I can't say thank you enough. I am blessed to have the care and support from my family, friends and fans I hope to be back on my feet (no pun intended) as soon as I can but getting to tattoo and train again"  Jime
