Hello everyone, I'm here to ask for help. My dad, Thomas Ruiz (otherwise known as Tom or Tommy), is in dire need of back surgery. He's been living with this back injury since he was young after getting in a bike accident that fractured his pelvis, but over the years it has flared up due to it healing incorrectly. He's tried every form of help, from deep shots into his back to physical therapy.

He's been afraid to do surgery due to the two-month bed recovery he will have to do, but his pain has been so bad lately that he can't even walk without it hurting him, causing him to have to take pain medicine every day to just barely be able to move. Even though his pain is crippling, he works his hardest every day to provide for his family.

This fundraiser is to help raise money to cover his cost of living for the two months he will be in bed rest, as well as any medical costs we might incur. Any little bit helps! If you can't donate, please share!
