Help Tom’s Path to Recovery

Donation protected

As many of you know Tom was airlifted to Barnes hospital in St. Louis where he had emergency surgery to repair a hole in his stomach. Right now the major concern is neurological, and once we figure that out he will need another abdominal surgery. Navigating through medical costs, and me staying here with him a bit like walking a tightrope. I make another plan every 5 days. Tom is where he needs to be and is receiving great care. In this challenging time your support can make a significant impact. Anyone who knows Tom knows he values family and is a great Papa. He has done so much for so many over the years to help, support anyway he could, and now he needs our help!
While he has insurance, this stay will be expensive regardless due to the length of time we will need to be here. We set up this campaign to help alleviate the financial burdens associated with hospital and specialists bills, and the cost of me being here with him. Medical expenses, after care costs, interventions and therapies can be overwhelming, and any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. These are some of the things that your generous donations will help cover.
Please share this with your network, so we can make this journey as smooth as possible for Tom. Big thanks for being the incredible community we know you are!
Warm hugs, and Blessings,
Tom & Deb
