Former Army Ranger ripped bicep

Donation protected
My name is Rob and I am trying to raise money for my cousin Tony. First I just want to say that it is difficult for this family to lean on the shoulders of others. I am a former Marine and Tony was in the Army. We work hard to provide for ours as undoubtedly you have done for yours.

My cousin Tony was in Army special operations (battalian withheld for reasons some of you will inderstand) and from 2001 to 2004 deployed to the middle east in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

After his honorable discharge, Tony began to work, married an amazing woman, and have 5 children together. His income is vital.

2022 was an ass kicker. Tony was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, He was hospitalized in July for eight days (diagnosed with catscratch fever, funny name but it kept him down for weeks), Tony contracted COVID mid November, and in the last week of November he ripped his bicep clean off the bone while helping set up a start up business that has potential to earn supplemental income for multiple families.

Due to the bicep injury, Tony is unable to get back to his construction job for a minimum of twelve weeks for rehab. The 15K goal is to cover just his loss of income. He wants to continue to provide for his family the way he knows how and that is by busting his ass.

Your donation will help with the mortgage, the car bills, the insurance bills, and the miscellaneous costs of raising a family that pop up every year.

Understand that this isn't easy and it is almost embarrassing to ask for a helping hand for us. We are military and we make due and we adjust and overcome, but this situation needs more than a few. Your help is absolutely necessary. Thank you for your time and please send any amount you can.
