To help the Schwindeman family in a time of need

On behalf of the Schwindeman family I've created the go-fund me to help them with the funeral expense.

Julie unexpectedly lost her son Thomas Schwindeman on Christmas morning. He was a Tahoe native, born and raised. After graduating from South Tahoe High School in 2004 he worked as a wild land firefighter while serving with the U.S Forest Service from 2008-2022. He even joined the Tallac Hot Shots in South Lake Tahoe, he was very proud of that. After many years with them, he wanted more. So Thomas packed up and moved to Redding CA to pursue a permanent career with helicopter 506 on Shasta Trinity national forest.

Thomas was the brightest light in the room. When he was around, there was always fun times and endless laughter. He was loved by so many but he loved everyone much, much more. That infectious and contagious laugh of yours will never be forgotten.

Julie and Jasmine need our help. They are not only completely devastated by losing her son/brother, they are being absolutely crushed by the financial weight of the funeral expenses and the

cost of living while grieving.

Anything is much appreciated and will help in every way. Thank you!
