My name is Allison and Ive created this go fund me for my dear friend Tom and his fiancé Justine. I have known Tom for 13 years, Justine and I work together as well.

Tom was admitted to the hospital with Legionella Pneumonia, which is a bacterial pneumonia that can become very serious. In this case, it is. Tom was experiencing respiratory distress and had to be intubated. He has since been transferred from Corning Guthrie Hospital to Albany Medical Center. This road will not be short, and it will not be easy. As you all can imagine that is putting a huge stressor on their financial responsibilities, not to mention travel and expenses from being treated so far from home. Tom is the most genuine human being I have ever met. He will go out of his way for anyone just to make them smile. Justine is absolutely beside herself watching her best friend go through something so terrifying. The last thing I want either of them to do is have to worry about money. They have both missed work already and, as you’ve read, will surely be missing a lot more. I’m hoping to raise some money to ease the burden in an already overwhelming and scary situation.

Please send all your healing vibes, prayers and well wishes Toms way. We still need him here with us.
