Hi everyone,
As many of you know, our family is currently facing the hardest challenge of our lives. My husband, Tom, is in the middle of a serious battle with stage 4 cancer. Tom has always been the rock of our home—not just as our sole provider, but as the person who keeps us laughing and feels like "home" to all of us. Since his diagnosis, our world has shifted. While I am currently working two jobs to keep us afloat, the reality of mounting medical bills, essential rehabilitation costs, and daily living expenses has become more than we can carry alone.
Tom’s journey began with back pain that led to a chiropractor visit and, eventually, the discovery of broken vertebrae. An MRI revealed that prostate cancer had spread to his spine, weakening the bone and causing fractures. One fracture shifted and pinched his spinal cord, and in a single day, Tom went from being an active, hard worker to paralyzed and unable to walk. The ER rushed him into emergency surgery to relieve the pressure, but he is still unable to walk and faces a long road of recovery.
We are reaching out to ask you to join our team: Teaming with Tom. We know that everyone has their own struggles, and asking for help is not easy for us. However, we want to ensure Tom can focus entirely on his recovery and rehab without the crushing weight of financial stress hanging over him. If you are able to give, please know that any amount or simply sharing this link with your own circle provides us with a little more breathing room and a lot more hope. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean the world to Tom, myself, and our children. Thank you for standing in our corner and for being part of Tom’s team.
With love and gratitude,
“Teaming with Tom”
