The Community Hero & Helper Now Needs Your Help: Chuck Woods

Donation protected
Chuck Woods was hit by an SUV while cycling on a beautiful Sunday morning. He set out on his weekly bike ride, something that brought him joy, freedom, and connection. In a matter of seconds, that joy was shattered when he was struck by a Chevrolet Tahoe. What started as a simple ride became a life-changing tragedy. The man who has spent years helping his community through Feeding South Florida now needs our help more than ever. This devastating accident left him with a traumatic brain injury, a long road to recovery, and mounting medical bills.

For years, Chuck has dedicated his career to Feeding South Florida. His work has touched countless lives, ensuring those in need never feel forgotten. Outside of work, Chuck is active, passionate, and full of life.

But everything changed in an instant. The challenges that followed have been overwhelming:

  • The driver who hit Chuck does not have insurance coverage
  • The hospital where Chuck was taken is out of network
  • His initial medical bill has already exceeded $330,000
  • He is currently unable to work, drive, or be independent
  • His cognitive recovery is expected to take 1–2 years
  • His physical/occupational recovery is expected to take months.

This is not a short journey. This is a long road filled with rehabilitation, healing, and rebuilding a life that was changed in seconds.

Today, Chuck is under the full-time care of his life partner, who has stepped away from work without pay to be by his side. Alongside his family, they are managing his care, supporting his recovery, and helping him navigate each day. Together, they are facing not only the emotional weight of this trauma, but an overwhelming and growing financial burden.

We are asking for your support to help cover:

  • Mounting medical bills and ongoing treatment
  • Rehabilitation and cognitive therapy
  • Daily living expenses during this period of lost income
  • The long road ahead toward recovery

If Chuck has ever touched your life or if you simply feel moved to support someone who has spent his life helping others please consider donating or sharing this page.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings relief, hope, and the ability to focus on what matters most: healing.

Thank you for standing with Chuck during this incredibly difficult time.
