Help Sidney & Family During Sidney’s Recovery

On the night of March 15, my husband, Sidney, came home from a quick walk around the neighborhood, bruised and bleeding profusely from his chin. He had tripped on a broken and uneven sidewalk.

I rushed him to the hospital, and what we thought was a minor injury turned into a life-altering event.

After several x-rays, the doctor told us that Sidney had broken his jaw in two places (see the hospital records in the photo area).

After several nights in the hospital and minor surgery, Sidney’s mouth is now wired shut for 6-8 weeks, with an estimated recovery time of 3-6 months (including therapy).

Every week and a half, I must take him to the doctor for x-rays and checkups to evaluate how his jaw is healing.

We have 6 children with ages ranging from 3 to 17 years old, and this incident has been incredibly challenging for us emotionally, mentally, and financially.

Sidney is a business coach and speaker, and his injury means he cannot work or provide for our family during this critical time. I work as a virtual paralegal, but the financial burden is more than I can handle alone.

Sidney can only eat through a straw and speak sparingly through his teeth, and he cannot do any strenuous activities during recovery.

Sidney is in pain daily, especially when he’s trying to sleep, and his injury is affecting us all in many ways.

The stress on us as a family is extreme, and we have an immediate need for your help.

Your generous donation, no matter how small, will help us manage our expenses, including rent, utilities, and groceries, during this difficult time while my husband recovers.

We are grateful for any support you can provide, and we promise to keep you updated regularly on Sidney's recovery journey, including doctor visits and therapy sessions.

Donate now to help our family as we go through this time of healing. Thank you.
