Young Family of 3 Contracts COVID, Only 2 Survive.

Donation protected
Tammy and Tony Thomas fell in love in 2010 and got married in December 2012. They attempted to start a family immediately, but after some time and difficulty, they conceived through IVF and delivered their miracle baby in late 2016. Temperance was the joy of their lives and their little family was complete.

Tony worked very hard for his family and was incredibly happy and proud to be the provider. He was a loving partner and a wonderful daddy to his sweet little girl. Tony always put others first and was quite generous. He had empathy and compassion for everyone and was most humble.

This pandemic invaded and completely devastated their happiness. In mid July, Tammy felt ill and went in for a COVID test. It took 22 days before her results came back, and by then all three of them tested positive. For some reason, Tony was much sicker than his wife and daughter with a fever, terrible cough, and a pulse ox in the 80s. He was admitted to the hospital on July 29th and was on a ventilator the very next day. He received many interventions, medications, treatments, and even dialysis, but continued to deteriorate rapidly. His last hope was ECMO, a machine that would oxygenate his blood because his lungs were not functioning on their own. However, there was no ECMO machine available.

Tony’s family was not allowed to visit or comfort him while he fought for his life. Ultimately and with special permission, only Tony’s mother and his wife were granted a very short visit to have a glimpse of him through a window where they prayed for him at a distance. Family all around the world prayed so hard for his healing and for another miracle to happen, but sadly and at the tender age of 38, Tony lost his battle to COVID and passed away just after midnight on August 9th, in solitude. Our dearest Tony was buried on August 12th, leaving behind his wife Tammy and their precious daughter Temperance as well as his beloved mother Mariamma, his brother Tom, and his sister Teena.

The Thomas family needs all the help they can get to make it through this awful tragedy and live on someway, somehow. Your monetary donations would be greatly appreciated and most helpful towards any and all of Temperance’s future endeavors. If you’re unable to donate, please share this fund everywhere you can and do everything in your ability to stop the spread of this deadly virus. Please continue to pray for Tammy, Temperance, and all of Tony’s family for the strength they need to get through their difficult and heartbreaking new reality.
