Timothy Jenks, Jr. has been dealing with health impairments for most of his life but has still made the best of it. Now, as Tim’s health problems have escalated, and he requires 24-hour care, his family is reaching out for help from the community.
A spaghetti dinner fundraiser for Tim will be held on Saturday, May 7th, from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the VFW Hall at 3815 Knapp Avenue, in Port Huron. Donations are being accepted for raffles and advance tickets can be purchased at The Raven Café in downtown Port Huron.
Any funds raised will go toward the maintenance of Tim’s wheelchair transport van, helping him fulfill his dream of going to the ocean, and for his eventual end-of-life expenses.
Tim’s mother, Sarah Jenks, said that her 29-year-old son attended Michigan School for the Deaf before he transferred to Port Huron Northern, where he was in the marching band, graduating in 2013. His most recent diagnosis is terminal Cerebellum Ataxia and an extreme case of scoliosis.
