Here at DCN, we had the pleasure of working alongside Thomas for 3 years where we got to know him and his amazing family, including his wife Melanie and 4 beautiful children Ziara (F, ~10 yrs), Elon (M, ~7 years), Ruah (F, ~4 yrs) and Shauvin (F, ~18 months). For those who know Thomas and his family, they know how selfless and passionate they are about helping others. For those who aren't as familiar with the kind of people they are, Thomas and his wife often go down to Mexico and build homes for less fortunate families; they volunteer at shelters, are active in the community and are always willing to help anyone in need, no questions asked. Unfortunately, like many industries, the biotech sector took a hard hit in 2023, and our company underwent a workforce reduction mid-year, resulting in the loss of Thomas' job. So this year, we want to return the selfless act and make sure him and his family have a wonderful Christmas. We are looking for donations to both go towards purchasing Christmas presents for his 4 young children as well as to help out with Thomas and Melanie's recurring bills, as we know the holidays can be a difficult time for many.

Any monetary donation will be greatly appreciated and if you cannot afford to donate, simply sharing this link would be much appreciated. Additionally, if anyone wants to donate gifts for his children, feel free to purchase gifts and drop them off with me (Madi) and I will coordinate getting them delivered around Christmas time. :) Thanks so much in advance and Merry Christmas!
