I'm putting together this GoFundMe for my Father Chris Sandoval. He was born and raised in California and has played up and down the west cost from 1984-2003 with The Tubes, Huey Lewis, Bonnie Rait, Santana, Greg Allman, Malo (Jorge Santana) and Joe Louis Walker. In 2003 he joined The Tommy Castro band and toured Europe, South America, and the United States up until 2009, when he then moved to Madison Wisconsin to raise his new family. Since his move to Madison he has played with Chris Aaron, Barrell House Chuck, Rev Raven, Alex Wilson, Jim Schwall and The Jimmys who he still plays with now. Within the course of a few years he experienced 2 major invasive surgeries. A vertebrae replacement and on the week of this most recent valentines day, an emergency triple bypass surgery. With the surgeries, he has sustained major financial setbacks while raising his two teenage children.

The most recent surgery has put him out of work for a considerable amount of time being a musician. So he and his family are turning to friends and family to attempt to raise funds to cover medical bills and rent while Chris is temporarily out of work. We thank you in advance for any donations you make to our family.
