Craig Wagner has been my friend and trusted mechanic for over a decade. He is a devoted single father to his 5-year-old son, Crescendo, and has full custody. Crescendo’s mother is not in his life, so Craig has always been the steady, loving presence his son depends on.

Just before the holidays, Craig had some dental work done and was prescribed Ibuprofen for the pain. What seemed like a routine recovery quickly turned into a nightmare when the medication caused a hole in his stomach lining. Since December 23, 2025, Craig has endured four surgeries and has been fighting for his life in the ICU for over a month and a half. The road to recovery is long, and as a mechanic, Craig won’t be able to return to work for quite some time.

The funds raised will go directly toward Craig’s mounting medical expenses and help provide care and stability for Crescendo during this incredibly difficult time. Your support will also help cover their living expenses while Craig focuses on healing. Thank you to all of you who find it in your heart to donate to this very worthy cause. Craig is such an amazing person and one of the best fathers I’ve ever known. Your generosity is appreciated so much, and every little bit helps!
