Four Years Paralyzed, Now on the Brink — Need Your Support

Surviving a Stroke and a Terrifying Fall — Help Me Heal and Support my Dog too.
Hi, my name is Corwin Shorter, and I’m humbly reaching out during the most difficult chapter of my life.

I suffered a brain stroke that drastically changed everything. In the chaos of that moment, I fell hard, biting through my tongue and slicing my face with a knife during the fall. I was rushed to the emergency room, terrified and in pain, and the medical team worked tirelessly to stabilize me. I’m grateful to still be here—but healing is just beginning.






Between surgeries, therapy, and medications, the medical expenses are overwhelming. On top of that, I’ve been bankrupted by past health costs and I'm unable to work as I focus on recovering physically and emotionally.

I’m seeking your kindness and support to help me:

Pay off urgent hospital and treatment bills

Afford follow-up care and rehabilitation

Cover basic living expenses while I’m unable to earn

This stroke didn’t just take my strength—it threatened my independence and safety. But I believe that with the help of compassionate souls, I can recover and rebuild. Any donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to surviving this hardship and regaining my life.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story and offer your support.

With deep gratitude,
Corwin Shorter.
