Hello there!
You may be wondering what this is all about and what it's for. Joe covers it pretty well in this incredible video he made.
You see, back in November 2025, while things were truckin along steadily for my folks and I, my dear Pops tripped and fell on the back porch while taking out the trash. Nothing grandiose or crazy. Just the same chore he's done a million times before. He landed on the stairs and suffered a spinal cord injury that has resulted in paralysis from the shoulders down.
My dad means the world to me, he's always been my biggest supporter and best bud, so the past few months have been torturous. Not knowing what function he'll regain, if any. At times being afraid I'm going to lose him to negligent care by medical staff or infection or who knows what. I've spent many days and nights in and out of various hospitals, or on the phone fighting with insurance, or researching what he's going to need for medical equipment or therapy or just comfort, and how to get it. The goal is for him to be well enough to come home, but I have to make sure I still have someplace he can come home to.
My own business and art has been derailed in all this, and it's been a mad scramble to try and keep things together. So a bunch of pals have put together these amazing bundles of goodies to help me out. There really is some fantastic stuff in these, and I hope you'll check them out. I can't put into words how grateful I am for all the work they put in, and especially to Sawhand for spearheading the whole kit n caboodle.
Thank you for checking these out, and I hope you enjoy what you find here!
