Support Tom’s Recovery and Medical Bills

Donation protected
SEE UPDATE! Still need about $13,000 to help with medical bills. I was able to start working part time, but barely pays my other monthly obligations. Please help, and forward to others you know! Thank you!!

After an incredible experience working in Yellowstone, my life took an unexpected turn when I developed bilateral pulmonary embolisms, deep vein thrombosis in my leg, and congestive heart failure. The altitude made my condition worse, forcing me to leave my job and return home. Since then, I’ve been dealing with severe breathing issues, fatigue, and hypertension, all of which have made daily life and recovery a real challenge. I'm working on appropriate employment options, but currently restricted pending further evaluation.

Right now, I’m unable to work as my doctors have restricted me until my health improves. This has left me facing a mountain of medical bills and ongoing monthly expenses, all while trying to focus on getting better. I’ve reached out to family for help, but the financial strain is overwhelming. I love to work and stay busy, and I’m confident I’ll recover, but this setback has made it hard to keep up with basic needs while I heal.
I greatly appreciate any help you are willing to give! Hoping to be back on my feet again soon. Thank you for reading and considering my need.

Your support will help me cover essential medical costs and living expenses until I’m able to get back on my feet and return to work. Every contribution brings me closer to recovery and stability, and I’m deeply grateful for any help during this difficult time.
