Our friend (And Hillsborough HS alumni) Joey Vasquez is living with ataxia, a neurological condition that affects his coordination and mobility. He uses a wheelchair and lives on his own, doing his best to stay independent despite daily challenges.

Recently, Joey’s air conditioning unit stopped working. With the heat and humidity here in Florida, having a working AC isn’t just a comfort — it’s a necessity. Unfortunately, the cost of replacing it is more than he can manage on his fixed income.

We’re raising funds to help Joey get a new AC unit installed so his home can be safe and comfortable again. Every bit helps and will go directly toward the replacement and installation costs.

If you know Joey, you know he’s someone who rarely asks for help. This is one small way we can show up for him the way he’s always shown up for others.

Thank you for donating or sharing this with others who might want to help
