Our beloved Coach Tom just lost his home in the fires sweeping through Los Angeles. After finishing up at the gym on Tuesday, he raced home and got there in just enough time to save his cat and get his wedding ring before the fire consumed his home. He has lost everything... his photos, guitar, personal belongings, and clothes.

We are trying to support him as best we can and surround him with love as he begins to rebuild his life. As usual, Coach Tom still has his natural positive attitude and is grateful that he and his wife still have what matters most-- each other.

If you feel moved to help, I know a financial contribution would be greatly appreciated to help him meet his insurance deductible and purchase the necessities he and his wife need to start over.

If you prefer to avoid the fundraising fees or simply make a private contribution, you can send a Venmo to Coach Tom by using the username of "Thomas-Finklea-2"
