Tomas Velazquez is a very good friend of mine who is going through a difficult time. Recently, Tomas had to undergo emergency surgery after a severe flare-up of diverticulitis that nearly burst. This sudden health crisis was not only frightening but has also left him unable to work for a while as he focuses on healing and regaining his strength.

As many of you know, Tomas is not just a wonderful friend but also an incredibly talented photographer who brings joy to everyone around him. Right now, he is facing mounting medical bills and the added stress of lost wages while he recovers. I am organizing this fundraiser to help ease some of that burden so Tomas can focus on getting better without worrying about finances.

We all know Tomas is a great person as well as a great photographer, so let’s show him how much we care. Any support you can give—whether it’s a donation or sharing this fundraiser—will make a real difference for Tomas during this challenging time. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.
