ABOUT "NEWMIE" & HIS FAMILY

Tom is a volunteer fireman for New Munich and a member of the local 49. On September 5th, Tom was involved in a motorcycle vs. van accident. He has multiple injuries that have caused him to have surgeries for broken bones,  road rash, and had a rod in his leg.  He also has a fractured pelvis and vertebrae fractures, a broken left wrist, and almost had an amputation due to his right knee being so badly injured. He will be going in for more surgery soon.

As you can imagine, his wife Sasha is staying home to take care of him, and the bills are piling up. Although Tom did have insurance, motorcycle insurance doesn't cover the driver of the motorcycle.
