Support Tom and Denise After Assault

Donation protected
We are raising money to support our friend Tom, who is facing a difficult recovery.

Tom’s partner Denise was walking their dog Jethro around the block and was assaulted by a neighbor, who then stabbed Tom in the chest with a 7” blade, on their front step. Tom is lucky to be alive at an outstanding trauma hospital. Denise is okay although shaken. Tom will be unable to work for several months and will need caretaking from Denise.

Thanks for sending Tom, Denise, and Jethro your much-needed love.

UPDATE from Tom and Denise: "We don’t have the words to express our gratitude for the outpouring of generosity we have received. Thank you to everyone!"

2nd Update: Tom is home from the hospital but will need several weeks to recover. Tom and Denise are very grateful for all of the support coming in, thank you!
