Support for Terence Tomlin Sr.

Donation protected
The purpose of this Go Fund Me account is to help support a dear friend of mine whose life has been interrupted by a series of medical and personal setbacks, causing him to become almost homeless and alone.  Many of you may know Chef Terence Tomlins as the chef who catered many of the parties at my residence and a former chef with the Ritz-Carlton (Associate), 94th Aero Squadron, Panache Creative Cuisine, and Terence Tomlin Upscale Dining Experience.  Terence is only 48 years of age, but suffered a massive stroke about a year and half ago that has left him paralyzed on one side.  Since that time, he has been fighting an uphill battle to rehabilitate and support himself financially, including providing support for his 15 year old son.  He refers to me as his adopted Uncle and I have personally tried to do as much as I can to help him.  Now, I am asking other friends of mine (and his friends) to join me in helping Terence overcome this temporary setback.   For those of you that know Terence, I think you will agree, he is a hard working and dedicated individual that would never seek financial support from others unless he truly needs it.  At this time, he lives alone in an apartment where the rent is 75 percent of his monthly disability check.  That leaves very little for utilities and food.  I have no doubt that Terence will rebound from all of this and continue to fulfill his goal of becoming a Top Chef.   Moreover, I also believe that anyone that provides financial assistance to Terence will be compensated in the future, either by him or God.  If you are unable to provide financial support  at this time, a donation of a restaurant or grocery store gift card would be greatly appreciated.  You can also contact Terence at [phone redacted] if you would like to give him a call of encouragement to boost his morale.  Thanks for anything that you can do.
