They appreciated Tom because their daughter might die without Tom's help.

Hi,
Does the above sound good? Is it better to change it into the following? Thanks.

I think it may be sounded good with "They appreciated Tom Might Because Their daughter die without Tom's help". Because of the emphasis in this sentence is in "Tom". But in the sentence "They appreciated Tom's timely help to save Their daughter".
