Anyone who knows Fred knows one simple truth — Fred has spent his life giving. Giving his time, giving his kindness, and always showing up when someone needed help. Whether it was lending a hand, offering encouragement, or quietly doing something thoughtful for someone else, Fred has always been the kind of person who puts others first. His generosity and heart have touched countless people over the years.

Now Fred is facing one of the most difficult challenges of his life. Fred has developed a serious infection in his bone that doctors have been fighting to treat. Despite every effort, the infection has progressed to the point where he will now lose his leg in order to stop it from spreading and protect his life. This is an incredibly difficult and life-changing moment for him and his family. As you can imagine, the road ahead will include surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, prosthetics, and many adjustments to daily life.

Fred has always been the one helping others through hard times — and now it’s our turn to help him. We are asking friends, family, and anyone whose life Fred has touched to come together in support of him. Your donation will help with medical expenses, recovery needs, and the many unexpected costs that come with such a life-altering surgery. If you are not able to give financially, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Fred in your thoughts and prayers would mean so much. Fred has given so much kindness to the world. Let’s surround him with that same kindness now. Thank you for supporting Fred and his journey toward healing and recovery.
