Dennis's Medical Bills and Recovery

Donation protected
On the evening of December 21st Dennis was riding his bike in Lehigh Acres when he was struck by an unknown motorist. Witnesses say they heard the impact and saw Dennis fly off of his bike as a vehicle drove off without stopping. Sparks flew from the bike which was wedged under the vehicle. The driver continued on for miles. Paramedics were called to the scene and responded to what we now know as a tramatic brain injury. Upon further evaluation Dennis has bleeding on the brain, 7 broken vertebraes, and an injured hip. He was rushed to Lee Memorial Hospital and admitted into the I.C.U. Fortunately for all of his friends and family Dennis is expected to recover, but not without extensive medical care and therapy. Like many of us, Dennis does not have medical insurance and his immediate family lives in California. The suspect in this hit and run is still at large and cannot be held morally, financially, or legally accountable for the horrific injuries that Dennis has been left with.  He has a long road ahead of him, which includes many medical bills, occupational and physical therapy fees, and an extended leave of absence from work. He is in need of any and all help that others are willing to contribute. We appreciate all of your prayers and financial help. Dennis didn't deserve what happened to him on the evening of December 21st, but he does deserve the best chance at a full physical and financial recovery.
