Another +1 for store plants.
However, don't forget to quarantine and save anything that survives. The importance of selective breeding must not be forgotten.

Honestly, i think you started them way too early. They're going to spend too much time in artificial light/air and they got stressed out and diseased.
If I were you, i would atart from seed again, but just what you want to grow. People are weird about getting small tomatoes as gifts. But, you'll only see a small delay when the hot weather takes off.

Copper works extremely well for all bacterial and fungal leaf infections. You can't control root bacterial/fungal wilt with it, but you can't control those with anything. I use copper fungicide regularly on my tomato plants throughout the early season (because that's when it's wet here) and they look beautiful and deep green. Not a spot on the leaves.

Myrrh and borax are super effective against fungus... Not sure if it would leave beneficial fungus alone, but those are cheap enough solutions to maybe try them on a plant or two.

On the bright side if you frequent the big box store and catch their tomatoes on clearance you could potentially be ahead of schedule with just a little tlc. Very sorry for your lost effort! It's a lesson well learned, have you figured out what went wrong?

Buy some garden store tomatoes. Try to find a small independent one. Not ideal but fuck winter squash. Tomatoes are the deities of the garden.
