Anderson Payne OSU Victim Fund

Anderson Payne was injured in the ISIS inspired terrorist attack on the OSU campus on Monday, November 28.  In his pursuit to help the victims who were hit by the attacker's car, he was attacked and stopped himself from being stabbed by grabbing the blade of a machete with his left hand which cut through his tendons and nerves. He underwent emergency surgery and is expected to regain full use of his hand, but will require intensive physical therapy.  

Unfortunately, he suffered irreversible nerve damage.  Andy is a hero for many more reasons than his bravery in this incident. He is an awesome father to 3 beautiful children, a phenomenal husband to his beautiful wife Hilary; he served his country as a soldier in the US Army for 6 years, doing 2 tours in Iraq, and is one of the greatest Americans I know. He loves God, his family, his country, and the Buckeyes; demonstrates tremendous leadership, lives his life by example and would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. 

Andy is a full-time student, studying to become an engineer while he holds a job and supports his family.  We are hoping to raise $5,000 to cover his portion of the medical bills and lost wages he will incur as a result of this attack.  Any support you are willing to give to Andy's family is greatly appreciated!
