Help Tony Teel Reconnect and Create with Vision Pro

Hello! My name is Mickey Fisher and I would love to tell you about my friend Tony Teel. Tony is a longtime friend and creative partner who I've made many projects with, including two micro budget feature films, music videos, short films, and more. He's one of the smartest, most creative people I've ever known. From the time I met him back in 1995, he was an early adopter of cutting edge technology, diving in to learn as much as he could and put it to use in his creative endeavors.

Not long after we met, he was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. In 2016, I was honored to officiate his marriage to his wife, Jenny, and it's been a joy to see him start this new family and a new life in Louisiana. Even though his mobility has been slowly deteriorating over the past twenty-five years, Tony never let it slow him down creatively. Over the past couple of years, Tony has been dealing with a number of medical setbacks that have sped up his loss of mobility. He is currently undergoing skilled nursing in a nursing home in Louisiana where he's mostly confined to his bed and unable to use his most helpful tool, his computer.

I'm putting this GoFundMe together to raise funds to buy him an Apple Vision Pro, a mixed-reality headset from Apple that will allow him to engage with the world and his creativity in a whole new way. I have no doubt, knowing Tony, that other people with disabilities will ultimately benefit from his exploration into this brave, new digital realm. He'll be able to FaceTime with friends all over the world, travel to far off lands, and maybe even create a few of his own.

The base price of the Vision Pro is $3,500. I'm starting the GoFundMe at $4,000 to make sure there is enough to cover taxes and some accessories he may need, including optical inserts.
