Richard "Tool" Rivas. He can use our help
Donation protected
My name is Josh Vera. Some of you know me as Marine. or Corporal Vera from Medical Battalion, I had a stroke in Jiu Jitsu 4 yrs ago after tearing an artery in my neck. The recovery is long and taxing. Fatigue, frequent headaches, nausea, etc... Well, our lovable Tool. Many know him as Richard Rivas. If you ask why people call him Tool, his response is, "I can't tell you.....but I can show you. He has brought fun, joy, and memories for a lot of us. 2 nights ago he had a seizure after having a headache all day. He found himself waking up in the neuro ICU having a brain hemorrhage. Unfortunately for Tool he was laid off after his company was acquired. He was supposed to have a job interview tomorrow but now that is unlikely to happen. He will likely be out for 3+ months. Not to mention he lives in one of the most expensive places in California. He doesn't have much support here so a call or text would be appreciated. But if anyone can help with any funding to help him through this hard stressful time it would be appreciated. Thank you.
