A Kind Musician Lost His Future In Flames But Not His Spirit

Wally loved to bring joy with his guitar. He played for friends, at shows, and on porches. That changed in an instant. A methane explosion ripped through the car he was helping a friend build. He suffered severe burns and lost the use of his hand. He has lost his work. He may never play again. Still, he meets each day with a smile and deep thanks for those around him.

Today he and his mother live in a van. They fight to keep it running to reach doctor visits. He waits for an experimental tendon reconstruction that could rebuild his arm. Right now even simple needs are bills and gas and food. He has no phone, no bank card, and no safety net. He is trying to keep his mother safe and find a way forward.

Your donation will pay to repair the van and buy gas. It will also help pay basic living costs while he heals. Every gift helps. No amount is too small. Please help the man who always showed up for others. Give him a hand up so he can heal and care for his mother.
