Hi, my name is Darryl and I've set up this fundraiser to help our friend Eddie Andujar, who has been hospitalized for the past 8 weeks.
On the evening of June 2nd, while attending dinner, Eddie collapsed while walking and hit the back of his head on the pavement. He was rushed to the hospital where they confirmed he had bleeding and swelling of the brain. Within a 24 hour period, two emergency surgeries were performed to relieve pressure and drain fluid of the brain. A trach was put in place to aid his breathing. He also has a feeding tube. Both of which will be removed at some point.
Eddie has 28 yrs of service with NYC Transit as a Trackman and a 3rd Rail Maintainer. He has been away from work the past year (mostly without pay) due to Covid concerns and underlying health conditions.
On Tuesday, July 13th, Eddie was transfered to a Rehabilitation Center. As a result of his brain injury he needs long term rehabilitation for speech, walking, and function of the right side of his body.
The family has set up this gofundme to help offset medical expenses not covered by insurance.
All donations are greatly appreciated! Please continue to pray for Eddie, share this fundraiser and spread the word.
