As most of you know, our brother Tom has a significant health challenge he's dealing with. He's been through a successful surgery and is now embarked on the radiation adventure.

Beyond that, he will be needing further surgeries for reconstruction and nerve involvement. And, certainly, time for recovery during, in between, and after all this.

Like so many of us in the folk world, Tom's income comes from a lot of time on the road - giving concerts, teaching, recording for or being recorded by others. Obviously, all the medical issues are going to keep him home for awhile and not being able to earn. 

Still being unsure of the time that might be required to get through and out the other side of all this, we've decided to go for asking for funds to get him through the rest of this year.

Tom is a Light, a beloved friend, son, brother. He has helped countless people with his time, his love, his music, his presence. This is our opportunity to help him. In addition to prayers, moon howling, meditations and chants, we can help relieve any anxiety around his ability to pay his bills while he journeys through this time.

Whatever you can give will be truly appreciated. And sharing this is definitely giving, too!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, one who cherishes his friendship. And big thank yous from Tom and his family.
