Support Jimmy P's Journey to Recovery
Donation protected
Hi friends,
On March 18, Jim underwent a routine laminectomy in Vacaville, CA, to relieve pressure on his spinal column. Unfortunately, complications arose, and he suffered a spinal cord injury. This resulted in a six-week hospital stay, during which Jim had to relearn basic functions such as walking, feeding himself, and managing everyday tasks most of us take for granted.
However, Jim now faces a long and challenging road to recovery, filled with intensive rehabilitation and ongoing medical care. In addition to the physical and emotional toll, Jim and his devoted wife, Debbie, are also confronting a substantial financial burden—one that persists despite having health insurance.
This GoFundMe campaign has been created by his family who want to surround Jim & Debbie with love and practical support during this challenging time. Your generous contributions will directly alleviate the financial burdens they are facing, helping to cover:
Ongoing Medical Care: To give Jim the best chance at a full recovery, he’ll need extensive physical and occupational therapy for months to come. These treatments are essential to help him regain his independence—and to one day step back onto the school bus he loves so much.
Making Home a Healing Space: Their home now needs modifications to ensure it’s safe and accessible for Jim as he recovers. This includes making adjustments to everyday spaces so he can move freely and confidently.
A Bridge Through Lost Income: While Jim focuses on healing, he won’t be able to return to work for the foreseeable future. Your help can ease the financial strain of lost income, allowing Jim and Debbie to concentrate fully on his recovery without the constant worry of making ends meet.
We also want to share our heartfelt gratitude for the amazing team of doctors, nurses, and therapists who have been by Jim’s side. Their dedication, compassion, and expert care have made all the difference in his recovery so far, and we are endlessly thankful for the support they’ve shown every step of the way.
Please keep Jim in your thoughts and send your positive energy his way. We will do our best to keep you updated on his progress. Thank you so much for your kindness, compassion, and generosity.
