Demonte Bell's Medical Fund
Donation protected
On August 3rd, 2016 at 12:07am, Demonte walked with a family member to the car which was parked in front of his mother's home, and was ambushed by two people who mercilessly shot him 28 times. It was his 25th birthday.
Unsuspecting and unguarded, he had no chance to run. As a result, the assailants shot him riddling his head, face, mouth, neck, chest, torso, arms and legs.
Demonte is not gang-affiliated, but lives in a neighborhood where one isn't supposed to leave their house at night due to senseless acts of violence.
Through extended hours of grueling surgery and an outburst of prayers from family and friends, Demonte miraculously survived. This is a true testament of his relentless will to live and to make a difference. Since the incident, he has endured over 4 operations with many more planned for the near future.
Demonte is in a medically induced coma and is currently relying on a breathing apparatus. His incredible doctors say that although he has survived, his road to recovery is going to be extensive. He will require operations, nursing, rehabilitation, and a great amount of physical therapy in hopes of making a full recovery.
We are asking for any assistance possible to provide Demonte with the medical care he needs in order to get him back on his feet, working towards achieving his dream, and positively influencing the world.
Demonte is a young man whose intentions and actions are pure. He will continue to make a positive and impactful contribution to humanity once he recovers. Any donation is welcomed and greatly appreciated.
About Demonte Bell:
Known for his contagious smile, Demonte found his purpose in life connecting people to being their best self -- using music as his source. The aspiring musician was born and raised righteously in Los Angeles by his Mother, who closely guided and taught him leadership and integrity as a way of being. Demonte was thriving in his purpose making an impact on his family and those around him until this tragic event occured.
Demonte spent his younger life doing everything he could to escape the dangers of his neighborhood.
His mother, Beverly Bell, kept his focus on school and sports, paving the way for a promising future for him to be a role mode to his younger siblings.
Growing up the oldest of four, Demonte took his passion of football and excelled in playing through college while attending Pasadena City College and then advancing to New Mexico.
After college, Demonte shifted gears and started working the early shift at Earthbar, West Hollywood. It was during this time where Demonte connected to his purpose in life; understanding and knowing his platform: music. Because it's music that brings us together.
He writes, records, produces, and performs his own music any chance he gets. When Demonte is not spending time with his family, working or pursuing his music career, he gives back to the community by coaching a youth football team.
Thank you all for reading Demonte's story. We cannot express enough gratitude for the help, support, and prayers you all may offer for his recovery.
