Chris Ochs' Recovery Fund

Donation protected
As many of you know, about a week ago Chris Ochs suffered a seizure and collapsed. The seizure is believed to be the first for Chris and his collapse caused a traumatic brain injury that has had Chris in intensive care to this day. He has had three brain surgeries, a tracheotomy, and countless other procedures but just a couple days ago he was taken off a ventilator and is starting to wake up from this devastating accident.

Many of you around the world have grown to know and love my little brother these past few years as he has traveled around always looking for new adventures. It was during this travel that he found his love, Suzi Colpman. Just two months ago, while living in England with Suzi, Chris proposed and they were engaged and planning a soon-to-be wedding for this summer. Not finding any work in England, Chris returned home to get a job and fund this wedding so he and Suzi could be back together. It was at a job interview that Chris suffered his accident.

Throughout the years, Chris has helped out many of us. He loves traveling and meeting great people and carries a lot of lasting friendships with him. He's hard working and intelligent but also stubborn and the last one to ask for help. I know he wouldn't like me asking others to help him but he needs it.

Because he is unemployed he isn't under an insurance provider, his recovery is expected to last several months and he will have a long road even after that. Two people that love him most, his mother Mickey and his fiancée Suzi have traveled here from North Carolina and England to be by him 12 to 24 hours a day putting their lives and jobs on hold. They will probably have to fly back and forth several times over the next few months which will add to expenses.

Whatever assistance you can provide to Chris would be greatly appreciated and allow his family to concentrate on getting him back to the carefree, fun-loving guy we all know him as. Thank you for all your prayers now and in the future.
