John Haggerty has saved a teenage hockey player’s life not once, but twice. Over the course of years as a high school hockey coach, the NextFab Studio woodworking director twice cared for serious wounds on players before they made it to an ambulance, the Inquirer reported. While he’s not coaching, he spends his days helping NextFab members with their woodworking projects.

Now, Haggerty needs a little help of his own. Due to medical troubles, he’s in danger of losing his house. His friends launched a crowdfunding campaign to help raise the $67,000 he needs to save his home.
