Tom Kaufman, the FabMan of Cheriton, broke his leg in a freak accident on the boat on their first day out to sea. He broke it in multiple places, from the ankle and 8 inches up. His tibia was crushed. He had major surgery on their 8th wedding anniversary, eventually getting two titanium plates put in & many stitches, as well as a cast. He is recovering now from surgery, but cannot put any weight on his leg for 6 weeks, if not more. Then he cannot work until he recovers & undergoes physical therapy.
This has put a huge strain on the family, already emotionally, spiritually & physically taxed from the previous year of trials. With so much to worry about already, they still have all of the financial responsibilities of home and medical expenses to take care of. Tom cannot work for at least two to three months. Their family is asking for is help covering their monthly bills, so that they can stay afloat during this trying time. Laura Pare, his wife will be limited in her work due to caring for Tom.
Any and all donations would be very much appreciated. We are beyond humbled to be asking for this, and grateful that this service is here to help when our family really needs it the most.

I’m just really floored by the outpouring of support; emotional, financial, and spiritual, from so many friends and family members. Laura and I are deeply touched and forever grateful!
Thank you!!
