'Show and Shine' Fundraiser held for Carson City man in critical condition after car accident
A fundraiser is being held for local Carson City man John "JT" Tomaroy, who was involved in a head-on collision while coming home from Las Vegas, and he is now in critical condition at Renown.
A "Show and Shine" fundraiser will be held to raise funds for JT and his family on Sunday, July 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Seeley Loop of Mills Park, located at 1111 East Williams Street.
There will be raffles, food and music and awards for the top five. Registration is $20, and all proceeds will be given to the family.
The following comes from the GoFundMe:
On Sunday July 14th JT was driving home from Las Vegas when he was involved in a head-on collision and was extracted from the vehicle and care flighted to Renown, leaving him in critical condition and in the ICU for an undetermined amount of time.
He has numerous surgical procedures to follow as he suffered oral lacerations, a lacerated liver and spleen, punctured lung, broken rib, broken collar bone, broken femur and he also has a hip socket fracture.
This will unfortunately keep JT away from work and bring some financial burden. For all those who know JT he is one with the biggest heart always lending a helping hand and putting others before him.
He has done a toys for tots for less fortune kids in the community and filled a 12ft utility trailer for Christmas of 2018.
He does numerous amounts of coat and food drives for the homeless, as well as having packed hundred of nutritious sack lunches and hygiene kits for the homeless in the Reno community.
You can always count on him to be a shoulder to lean on. JT is a family man and an incredible father to his daughter Daysha and loving husband to his wife Jackie. We only hope to ease some stress on his family by donating all that we can during this difficult time.
We love you JT and we are praying for a quick recovery! You have showered others with your gratitude, love, and friendship and we only hope to do the same!
