"Darrel Needs Our Help".

"Hello Friends! We are rallying on behalf of our dear friend and Hole in the Wall Howlers teammate, Darrel Mortimer.
On may 5, on his way home from a pool tournament, he encountered an assault by three young men on an elderly gentleman in the vicinity of 10th Street and Jessie Alley. Being the man he is, Darrel stepped in to thwart the attack of the elderly man. In the process of trying to ward off the assault, the attackers turned on Darrel and beat him severely, resulting in his being hospitalized with serious injuries to his abdomen. A complication at the hospital has also occurred, which will extend Darrel's hospitalization and healing time, rendering him unable to work for the foreseeable future.
At this time, while his biggest concern should be healing and getting back to his life, he is troubled deeply by his situation of lost work and wages, as he is self-employed and lives alone. It's for this reason that we are establishing this Go Fund Me campaign, to alleviate his stress and allow him the peace of mind necessary for a full recovery. Our campaign goal is $5000, to help offset the costs of Darrel's rent and bills while he recovers.
We ask, on behalf of our friend and teammate, that you dig deep and support our effort to the extent that you're willing and able, so that when he's finally released from the hospital, he will have the funds necessary to cover the expenses that will be there waiting for him. For those of us who know Darrel, we know he's the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back if you are in need. At this time, however, Darrel needs our help. Please contribute as little or as much as you like, and help us keep him safely housed and able to heal from these serious injuries.
We will post updates to his status as we're able. We appreciate your generosity of spirit in helping us reach our goal.
