Help for Marvel artist Thomas Tenney and Family

Marvel and DC comic book artist, Thomas A. Tenney and his family need your help.

Update:

On August 31, 2024 Thomas and family had to vacate their once home to start anew. The cost of the move has been more than we anticipated between storage, gas, car repairs, daily essentials, contributing to temporary housing and medication. Everything we look at as far as a new roof over our head is asking for more than we have left from our initial gofundme estimate.

As some of you may have seen, Thomas' story was covered on the news and covered in comic book media.

The past months have physically and mentally taken their toll. Unpaid work, the loss of a family member, the rising cost of living with little work coming in and more. Sadly to say Thomas is another casualty on the growing list of comic book professionals that have fallen on hard times, in an industry that makes no promises and offers no apologies.

Thomas and his family wouldn't haven't made this far if not for the kindness and generosity made by friends and fans alike, to whom he is forever grateful. Thomas especially has had a difficult time due to his health. Recently Thomas has need of a carry all 02 condenser to get around.

In 2017 Thomas was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or more known as COPD. This disease that has no cure.

COPD limits Thomas physically and makes it difficult to maintain a normal lifestyle. Though with its limitations he can still do his art. But his life saving medications are a daily necessity. Without medications Thomas faces an uncertain future and possible loss of life. Those who that have met Thomas in-person know how serious his condition is. Without his daily medication Thomas' life would be in serious jeopardy. We're not talking about weeks or months, Thomas wouldn't last days.

Thomas and his family are asking for any help they can get as they try to survive the blow of having to start over. It's never easy to begin again especially at Thomas' age and with his health as it is.

They are hoping to raise the money to start anew and keep up with the cost of medications. Thomas can only hope through the kindness of others that they can try to rebuild some sense of normalcy and make themselves secure and safe again.

Any financial contribution, no matter what size, is very much needed and will be received with the utmost thanks and heartfelt appreciation. If you would like art commissions, that also can be done and will also be appreciated.
