Support Timothy’s Recovery ❤️

Jacqueline Batista is organizing this fundraiser.

On 15th May 2024 - whilst a young man was just hanging out with friends in Plymouth, Tobago - shots were fired.

One person was killed.

Two were severely injured - one being Timothy (also lovingly known as Timo).

Timo’s next memory of the 15th May was waking up in Scarborough Hospital - with his leg being amputated just below his knee.

Timo had just completed an advanced cocktail making course to further his career in hospitality as a bartender - a career he loved and wanted to progress in.

Some of you may remember Timothy from the Turtle Beach Hotel in Tobago - the ever smiling effervescent barman who never kept you waiting for a drink!

Timothy has been unable to work since the events of 15th May.

At 29 years old he is suffering severe flashbacks and night terrors. His wound is still swollen following an extended recovery period due to the local medical centre missing stitches in his wound - further adding to Timothy’s pain and suffering.

Timothy is currently not getting any support. He needs funds to cover his medical care (£55 per visit), his rent as well as his ongoing living costs.

Whilst general donations are appreciated, Timothy needs a regular sustainable income - to see him through his recovery period but also to build the rest of his life.

We have a big goal - but we know it can be achieved!

A boat.

Initially Timo could rent the boat out to local operators until he can captain it himself. A boat would provide a long term sustainable income source for Timothy.

Owning a boat also means he can continue to be an integral part of the Turtle Beach community - this means so much to Timothy and will be incredibly beneficial to his long term mental health.

We need your help to make the dream of a boat a reality.
