Tyler heal and pay his bills

Donation protected
Hoping the Service Industry is the big family I brag about. On May 26th, while people were out at Club Lanark on Madison's East Side, a man walked into the bar, unprovoked, and stabbed 3 people. One of them was my friend, Tyler Leonard. The man then fled the scene. This was a senseless act of violence

Tyler was stabbed in the back of the neck and a nerve was severed. He was placed in ICU and had lost the use of his left arm. Since this time he has had surgery, thank goodness, but is still struggling with extreme pain and use of his left arm

The projected time for him to return to work is July. My worry is he won't be ready. I would like to raise some money so Tyler doesn't feel he has to push himself to go back so he doesn't lose his apartment and fall behind

If you know Tyler, you know you have a friend. He is honestly one of the sweetest and kindest people I know. This is a crazy random act of violence no one could have known would happen. Most of us would be angry, bitter and feeling sorry for ourselves. Some range of emotions. Not Ty. He told me ..... everything happens for a reason, Kris. And he's making the best of it.

I could say a million things, and if you know me, yeah I can. But I won't go on and on. Bottom line is .....I want to give my friend a few dollars to get him through July or the next few months so if he does to back, he can work when he can and know he's got some money to make ends meet

So I ask everyone that knows him and/or me to throw in a few bucks. Something like this could have happened to anyone. And we would want some there for us just like this so money isn't a worry.

Whatever you give, thank you. I appreciate you and I know Tyler will too.
