How do I start a t-shirt support thing for my 32-year-old brother, who just had a stroke unexpectedly?

Hello! I want to share a heartfelt story about my brother, who is also my best friend. Recently, he went through a harrowing experience. He was found unconscious in his apartment in Austin, Texas, after suffering a sudden stroke, and he remained in a coma for nearly two months. Those days felt endless, and the doctors were on the verge of declaring him brain dead, but against all odds, he woke up.

Thankfully, he remembers everything and has even regained his sense of humor. His recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. Although he is currently paralyzed on his left side, he is steadily building strength each day.

I just returned from visiting him over Christmas, and I want to show him the overwhelming love and support that surrounds him. Words can hardly capture it all. My brother, Tyler, is genuinely cherished by so many people. He’s a wonderful individual, even when no one is watching, and he embodies everything I aspire to be. He truly serves as my role model.

I’ve spoken to some of our closest friends, and we’ve come up with a plan to create a unique T-shirt design each month while he continues to recover. We’ll take turns crafting these shirts with our friends and my family to make it a fun and uplifting project. I have access to a T-shirt press, and already more than 50 friends are eager to participate. As his sister, I want this initiative to be light-hearted—a little reminder for him to keep pushing forward every month.

I’m also considering setting up a Facebook group or a website where people can sign up for a monthly T-shirt subscription. If they feel comfortable, they can also make donations to help offset my brother’s medical expenses. I feel a bit awkward asking for financial support, but we’re facing some tough times.

I’m hoping to find sponsors and get as many people involved as possible to show how much he is loved and how much he means to me and to everyone around him.

So, dear friends, I’m reaching out for your help! As merely a preschool teacher, I have no idea where to start with this, Is there anyone who can lend a hand?
