Hi. I'm reaching out to you in the community to help raise funds for my good friend Travis. A carpenter by trade and profession, Travis earns his living on his feet, relying on his strength, his balance, and his eye to create beautiful work such as that shown here.

Last weekend, while out exploring and bouldering with some friends, he hopped off a rock, landed off-center, and completely tore his Achilles tendon. He goes in for surgical repair this week. Besides the $4000 minimum for the surgery, he is looking at a 5-month recovery. He can't work if he cant walk, and his disability payment will not cover his living expenses. Can you all help and support him in closing the gap?
