Tonns Family Trust

Donation protected
Tonns Family Trust - is being created because of the sudden death of Anthony Tonns, a loving husband and father on August 8th, 2017.

Anthony was diagnosed on April 30th 2017 with Melanoma Cancer, Stage IV and 3 months later he died. Tony was 44 years old. He worked as Senior Devops Engineer at Hearst and was the breadwinner for his family. His wife, Jolanta, took care of their adopted child Michael.

Anthony and Jolanta adopted Michael when he was 6 years old from Poland. Jola has been a stay at home mom taking care of Michael and helping him catch up with academics. Michael is a child with special needs.

The funds are used to pay for medical expenses.  At the beginning of 2018, Michael had to be hospitalized for 6 weeks. After hospitalization he needs a team approach of psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist and behaviorist. He is seeing some kind of specialist each week and the medical bills are in thousands of dollars.

I would appreciate any financial support and be very grateful for any other help you can provide to us. No one can change the past but I hope I can help Michael have future.
