Help Pankaj Recover from Tragic Accident

A Humble Request for Help

Dear Friends and Kind-Hearted Members of the Community,

I never thought I would be in a situation like this, but today, I have no choice but to ask for help. My name is Pankaj Sharma, and since I am unable to write this myself, a kind friend is helping me share my story. On February 18, my life changed forever. I was walking along Highway 6 in Houston when a drunk driver in a Ford F-150 hit me and left me lying on the road, unable to move. I was rushed to Memorial Hermann Trauma Center, where doctors did everything they could. I have had multiple surgeries, and while I am grateful to be alive, I am now facing an even harder reality—I have nowhere to go, no family here, and no way to continue my treatment.

My Situation Right Now

• The hospital is discharging me, but I have nowhere to go. I am unable to move on my own and still need medical care every day.

• I do not have medical insurance. No rehabilitation center will accept me, and I cannot afford care on my own.

• I am completely alone in the U.S. My wife and children are in Mumbai, waiting for me to come home, but I cannot leave in my current condition.

• I am in pain every day. My body is covered in deep wounds that need constant care.

A Request from My Heart I never imagined I would have to ask for help like this, but today, I have no other option.

• Doctors, nurses, therapists – If you can offer medical care or rehabilitation, it would mean everything to me.

• Individuals, organizations, businesses – Any financial help would allow me to afford medical care and a temporary place to stay.

• Anyone who can offer shelter or assistance – I have nowhere to go once I leave the hospital.

How You Can Help

A GoFundMe account has been set up and is directly linked to my personal bank account. Every donation will go toward my medical expenses, rehabilitation, and basic living costs until I can recover enough to return to my family in India.

Where I Am Now As of March 1st, I am still in: Memorial Hermann Trauma Center, Medical Center, Room No. 718 ⏳

The hospital is preparing to discharge me, but I have no place to go. I am lying in this hospital bed, scared about what will happen next, but I am still holding on to hope. Hope that someone reading this will find it in their heart to help me in any way possible. Even the smallest help—a donation, a share, or an offer of support—could save my life and help me heal so I can be with my family again.

Please SHARE this post and help however you can.
