We can’t tell what’s more famous; Swamp People or the interesting characters that make up the show’s cast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly, Swamp People is the reality show where they are often changing people up in the cast. And this is why we have to bid farewell to a lot of our favorite members.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chauvin is undoubtedly one of those people, so what happened to him?<\/span><\/p>\n

Tommy Chauvin’s Tragic Accident and Injury<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tommy Chauvin, after leaving Swamp People, mostly maintained a low profile from the media. <\/span>However, almost two years ago, he resurfaced after going through a dreadful accident.<\/span><\/p>\n

On July 11, 2019<\/em>, Tommy was caught up in an explosion that caused a severe injury to his entire body. <\/span>We’re sure he’ll need a series of expensive operations and care for his injuries, so a Go Fund Me page was set up to help.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pictures and the description clarified that Tommy’s right side was directly caught in the blast where he almost entirely lost his right arm. <\/span>According to the page, he ended up “rupturing his eardrums, damaging his eyes, and (having) multiple abrasions on his chest and arms.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He had to undergo two surgeries in the last week to save as much of his fingers and hand as possible. But unfortunately, a lot of his right hand and fingers still needed to be amputated, including his thumb.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pictures of his injury are not for the weak-hearted. <\/span>The fundraiser website also stated that “Future surgeries are expected as he goes through the process of trying to regain function of his primary hand.”<\/span><\/p>\n

It explained that the alligator hunter who also built beautiful boat sheds would likely have a hard time returning to work or finding any other jobs since most require the use of good hands even if he is fully recovered.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, he has come to the website seeking donations to help pay his medical bills and keep him and his family afloat. <\/span>He has so far managed to collect almost $3,000<\/em> in donations. However, this seems a little low from his goal set at $20,000<\/em> and considering the severity of his injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us hope he can get by somehow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is Tommy Chauvin?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tommy Chauvin was the star of Swamp People from 2010<\/em> to 2016. <\/em><\/span>He appeared on the series alongside his stepfather, Joe LaFont. <\/span>Despite being his stepfather, the two shared a healthy relationship and had great chemistry as gator hunting partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

We do not know about his birth father or the rest of his family, for that matter. <\/span>He was called Trigger Tommy by many for his skills and talent with the shotgun.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is precisely why; the loss of his right-hand means so much to his career. <\/span>Tommy Chauvin’s net worth is estimated to be as much as $250,000<\/em>. However, since he no longer gets the salary from the show, and may struggle in the future for any job.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is why a lot more people should be helping Tommy by donating to him.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
