If you know Tim Jones, then you love Tim Jones. The nicest most personable human you could possibly meet. His work with the youth of Wisconsin has inspired myself and others for years. Whether it was as an educator, working at a rec center or running a camp for inner city youth, he makes kids lives better. As many of you know Tim is suffering from heart failure. His heart is currently functioning at less than 10% of capacity. His condition has made it so that he can no longer do the work that he was put on this earth to do which is help kids.

Besides the medical and personal issues that come along with this horrible situation, there are also financial issues. Even while suffering from heart failure, Tim went back to work, working with students and coaching basketball. However, as things have become progressively worse, Tim has not been able to work since May 5th. I hope we can all show our deep appreciation for Tim's years of work helping our community by helping him in this time of real need.
