Chris Sell Stroke Campaign
Donation protected
Chris unexpectedly suffered two strokes and needs help with the astronomical bills while he is in rehab. We started this fundraiser to ease the burden of financial stress for Chris and Sasha. Thus far the VA has approved Chris's medical care but that is not the case for his next step in treatment. Chris will be transported on December 8th to Brooks Rehabilitation which specializes in neuro injuries, this will need to be paid out of pocket, as you can imagine the expense is high. It comes at a rate of $12,000 per week with the expectation of Chris being there 3-4 weeks.
Chris is 39 years old; he's offbeat, funny, kind and extremely active. Chris is a decorated veteran — National Defense Service Medal recipient. Shortly after Basic Training, Chris was sent overseas and spent the next three years on foreign soil, between Saudia Arabia and Japan.
October 10, 2020. For some people, it is just a date in history. For Chris and Sasha Sell, it was the date that their lives changed forever.
Chris suffered two strokes over October 10th and 11th. He's had multiple brain surgeries and spent the first few weeks on life support. Over the last month, we learned Chris has Lupus, but thankfully he is finally showing minor improvements. Moving toes, feet, fingers and sections of his arms, his right side is significantly weaker than his left. He is conscious and fully understands what is happening, which on most days is extremely hard to see the frustration on his face. He has still not been able to talk but we are hoping through hours of rehab he can regain his voice and hopefully one day be able to walk and live a normal life.
Over the next few months ahead, Sasha will need to be at countless doctor appointments, hospital stays, and surgeries. As you can imagine, the typical costs of everyday living such as a mortgage, food, gas, car, etc...the medical expenses will be immense.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
