To know him is to love him: Tracy DeuFriend, with his quick wit, disarming smile, and ever-present laughter. He’ll tell you a story or do an impersonation that will keep you chuckling for days. Although, his most recent stories might involve the harrowing tale of how he split the first digit of his finger with a table saw, resulting in nine stitches, and seriously hampering the use of his left hand. Or the injury he sustained to his right shoulder, which is resulting in surgery.

He needs the support of this wide and generous community right now.

A self-employed carpenter, he’ll have surgery May 5th to repair his shoulder and will not be able to work for four months. Let’s rally around this long-time Healdsburg friend and help him make it through healing and recovery without the stress of how he’ll support himself and his teen Abbey.

We can change the world by helping our friends one at a time. Love comes around, and goes around.
