As he focuses on healing and rehabilitation, he is facing significant financial challenges due to medical expenses, ongoing treatment, and time away from work.

Anyone who knows Chris knows that he is a kind, caring,funny and generous person who has always been there for others. Now, it's our turn to be there for him. Please see his own story…

Dear friends,

I am writing to share an update on my health and to ask for your support during a difficult time.

For those who don't know, I suffered a stroke on June 8, 2025, while working in the Hamptons. After being treated at Southampton Hospital and Stony Brook Hospital, including a week in the ICU, I faced a long recovery. Months later, I still did not feel well, though I tried to convince myself and others otherwise. In September, after attempting to return to work, I suffered a heart attack.

Following the heart attack, I experienced persistent body aches and chronic neuropathy in my legs and feet. Additional testing revealed a tumor on my adrenal gland. Because medication cannot resolve this, I will need surgery to remove the entire gland. In addition to these physical challenges, I have been dealing with depression and am currently in therapy. It has been an incredibly difficult battle, and I encourage anyone facing depression to reach out for help.

Due to these health problems over the past 13 months, I can no longer work a full-time schedule or be on my feet for more than three days a week. Because of these physical limitations, I had to resign from my summer position in the Hamptons as a production and music manager and decline multiple other DJ opportunities.

As a result of only being able to work part-time, my medical and personal bills have continued to pile up, and I will need additional time to recover after my upcoming surgery. I have never asked for financial help before, but I am in a position where I truly need it now.

Thank you for your support. I promise everyone I will be back to doing what I do best and making you all dance.

Best,

Chris Bachmann
