In Support of Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson
In early August of this year, our dad had an unexpected organ rupture and had to undergo an emergency procedure after going into septic shock. While this was a scary moment for our family, we are relieved to say that he is steadily making a recovery. While we have been doing our best to navigate this new reality as a family, we are calling on the help of our loved ones so we can get our dad back to good health.
Since the procedure, we have grappled with high rehabilitation costs, including the purchase and installation of adaptive and mobility equipment, financing extended nursing care, and at-home aide services. We are continuing to focus on securing frequent physical and occupational therapy, as well as in-home aide care until our dad has regained his strength and independent mobility. 
Any form of help is greatly appreciated. We ask that you please share our fundraiser so that we can ensure that our dad can get the help that he needs. Thank you <3

Years ago, my friend Maya Ginsberg sent Richard a piano piece that had been composed for me by a friend. Richard sent back a video of himself performing that music, beautifully. I'm indebted to him and wish him a full recovery.
