Happy New Year to all of our loved ones!
We once again want to say how grateful we are for your support, prayers, thoughts, and love for Tommy and our family during this time.
Tommy remains in the hospital healing and remaining strong. There are still certain cleaning procedures he is going through for optimal healing of his wounds and to make sure he is ready and able to get to inpatient rehab. We will continue to give updates on Tommy and his healing process and are so thankful to you all for all the check-ins and well wishes.
Please continue to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.
We will soon have flyers to hang to get the word out about our fundraising with Help Hope Live for all the expenses that are to come. We hope you will share and repost!
Thank you for all that you have given us especially throughout the holiday season.
More content is to come on this page and please continue to look at the website for all the Help Hope Live does for others and will be able to help us with. We welcome all fundraising drives and events to help us continue to reach our fundraising goal.

Hello everyone,
Tommy is still in the hospital and working hard every day to get well and heal enough to enter inpatient rehab. His days consist of PT, an appetite that comes and goes, pain medications, and constant care and check-ins from every hospital department. He has had 5 procedures to help heal and wash his wounds from the amputation and bacteria and is hopefully nearing the final stretch of procedures. As a double above the knee (AKA) amputee, Tommy has a long road ahead to rehabilitation and preparation for the use of mobility equipment and prostheses. As can be expected, all of the procedures and operations he has undergone have resulted in some residual internal physical effects and challenged his mental fortitude at times. Tommy has been strong throughout this whole process. We wanted to reach out and thank you all for your generous donations, thoughts, prayers, and continued love during this season.
Tommy will most likely have to spend Christmas in the hospital this year. We will make sure to keep everyone updated with when he will be able to leave the hospital phase behind and get ready to work hard and tirelessly in the inpatient rehabilitation phase. Please continue to keep Tommy, and our entire family in your thoughts and prayers this holiday season and please know Tommy is so grateful for his loved ones during this time. He is sending all his love and hopes everyone has a safe and joyful holiday with their loved ones. Many blessings and love to all!

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to give an update about Tommy and reach out to say thank you again for all of your support.
Tommy remains in the hospital fighting some residual effects from the accident. He's undergone two additional surgeries to reduce infection and quicken his ability to heal and rehabilitate. We are hoping to be in the final stretch of getting Tommy out of the hospital and into an in-patient rehab center so he can begin the road to building the strength and muscles needed to support his mobility, including eventually being fitted for prostheses. Tommy has good days and ok days, but each day is another day closer to having him home with us. We just wanted to give you all an update, and express how in awe we are of the immense love and support we have received since his accident.
If you're interested in visiting Tommy, please reach out to Crysta for information on how to visit. He loves being able to see his family and friends, and it gives him the strength he needs to continue through this journey.
