Please Help Army Ranger Veteran Dylan Truesdale

Hi, I'm Ben, and we're raising money for a friend, Dylan Truesdale. On June 24th, on his way to a photoshoot in Waikiki, HI, Dylan was in a serious car wreck. Details on the crash are currently unknown. Dylan's condition is serious but stable. He's suffered severe injuries to his head. He has multiple broken bones in his face, his jaw is wired shut, and he is currently using a breathing and eating tube. He's sustained severe injuries to both eye sockets and his right eye has ruptured. 

 

Dylan is 26 years old and an Army Ranger combat veteran who served in the 3rd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment. He served two tours in Afghanistan from 2015 to 2019. Dylan has always been very active. He loves the outdoors and especially being around water. He can be found at the beach at all times. He still holds the high school record for the triple jump. Several months ago, Dylan graduated from the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, where he honed his love of photography. After graduation, he moved to Oahu to pursue his dream of becoming a surf photographer. Prior to the accident, he was working with world-renowned surf photographer Brian Bielmann. Dylan is a highly talented photographer, and his career is promising.

 

Dylan was just getting started on his new job when this tragedy struck him. He was not financially prepared for such a life-altering event and the unexpected medical and rehabilitation costs that his injuries would present. Dylan's family has been through a lot in recent months. His grandfather suffered a heart attack and is having kidney surgery in the coming days. Funds for additional care are limited. Once Dylan gets out of the Hospital, he will need extra care and rehabilitation. It will take some time for Dylan to get back on his feet and be able to work again. We're raising money to help Dylan pay for his medical and everyday expenses. We hope to raise funds so that he doesn't have to worry about income while he recovers and can focus on getting back to doing what he loves most. No donation is too small. Anything and everything helps! Sincerely, thank you for your time and help. 

All funds raised will go directly to Dylan to help pay for his medical expenses.
