My name is Mike Walsh, and I have a very close friend who has been laid up and unable to work for months while trying to recover from a kidney transplant. Our circle of friends has considerable overlap, and I hope to reach as many as possible. Those of you who know Tony Mayo will be quick to lend a hand. The following information is for those who don't know this good man...

Help Tony Mayo Keep His Home & Pay Bills While Fighting for His Life

For everyone who knows him, Tony Mayo is the kind of man you’re lucky to have in your life. A loving husband, a devoted father, a doting grandfather, and the kind of friend who shows up without being asked — fiercely loyal, endlessly generous, and always ready with a warm smile and a good cigar.

Today, Tony needs us to show up for him.

A Decade-Long Battle That Has Taken a Devastating Turn

Tony has been fighting the loss of kidney function for more than ten years. Through every setback, every treatment, every exhausting day, he has pushed forward with quiet strength and determination.

But recently, everything changed.

Tony finally received a kidney transplant — a moment that should have been the beginning of healing. Instead, the transplant did not go smoothly, and his health has taken a serious turn for the worse. He is now facing complications that have left him unable to work, unable to regain stability, and unable to keep up with even the most basic bills.

He has spent every dollar of his savings trying to stay afloat during this medical crisis. And now, doctors have told him he may never be able to work again.

Why This Fundraiser Is Urgent

Tony and his family are staring down mounting bills with no income to cover them. Rent, utilities, insurance, medications, transportation to appointments — everything is piling up at the worst possible time.

He is fighting for his health. He shouldn’t have to fight to keep the lights on too.

This fundraiser will help Tony:

Every donation — no matter the size — gives Tony breathing room during the hardest chapter of his life.

A Good Man Who Has Always Given to Others

Tony has spent his life being the strong one, the helper, the friend who never hesitates to lend a hand. He has lifted others through their darkest moments.

Now it’s our turn to lift him.
