T-Guns recently went through a heavy slam that caused severe injuries to his lower body.
In his own words, he explained that the accident resulted in a torn urethra along with significant damage that required immediate medical attention.
He is currently in the early stages of recovery and has a catheter in place while doctors prepare him for surgery in the coming months.
After surgery, he is still expected to need additional recovery time before he can even think about getting back on a board.
For now, daily life is focused entirely on healing, appointments, and dealing with the physical toll of the injury.
Because of the situation, T-Guns’ wife Brianna has set up a GoFundMe to help support the family during this period.
With T-Guns unable to work, the family is now dealing with medical costs, rehab expenses, household bills, and other daily needs that continue to build up while income has stopped.
Brianna shared that this situation came on suddenly and has placed a heavy financial strain on the household.
The fundraiser is intended to help cover essential costs while Tommy goes through treatment and recovery.
She also mentioned that any support, whether financial or simply sharing the page, would make a meaningful difference for them.
T-Guns also posted a message thanking everyone for the support he has already received. He expressed gratitude for the messages, kindness, and encouragement coming from friends, family, and the wider skate community.
Right now, the focus is on healing and taking things step by step through the recovery process ahead.

"Hello everybody, as most of you may know I’ve just recently had a terrible slam and am currently in the hospital in the beginning stages of the healing process. This wasn’t your everyday slam, I ended up severing my urethra and severely damaging my whole lower area (testicles, perineum, and anus). I have a catheter in my abdomen for the next 3 months until my urethra can be surgically repaired. After surgery I will still have another month or two of recovery before I’m even close to enjoying riding my board again. With that being said, my wife has put together a go-fund me for the near future and all the hardships we will face while I am not able to work or provide during the healing process. I’m so very grateful to have all the love n support of family, friends, and the skate community! It means the world to get sent positive messages and healing vibes from so many people around the world. My family and I truly appreciate everyone who has already reached out or helped in any way and a major thank you in advance to anybody deciding to contribute to the gofund me, or just in general all love and support is welcome no matter the form it comes in!
