Help Brent Helmick and Avarie

Brent Helmick is facing a heartbreaking and life-changing recovery after being struck from behind by a car while walking home with pizza for his daughter, Avarie, and his nephew. The driver was traveling at a high speed and fled the scene, leaving Brent with devastating injuries. Brent has been told he will never walk again. He has suffered multiple broken bones, including breaks in his arm, chest bone, ribs, spinal column, pelvis, and shoulders, with more treatment and evaluation still ahead. Brent is only 30 years old, but he has already endured so much in life, including Crohn’s disease since age 15 and Perthes disease since age 5, which led to numerous surgeries and a total hip replacement at 20. Through every challenge, Brent has remained positive, kind, and deeply devoted to being the best single father he can be to 10-year-old Avarie.

This fundraiser is to help Brent and Avarie as they adjust to a future that has changed in an instant. Support will go toward Brent’s overwhelming medical bills, a handicap-accessible home, in-home health care, and child care for Avarie as Brent may no longer be able to work. Avarie is also living through this loss in her own way, missing the dad who could walk her to the park, play with her, care for her, and provide for her every day. Brent is a wonderful person and an amazing father, and this family needs compassion, prayers, and support now more than ever. Any donation, no matter the size, would be a deeply appreciated blessing for Brent and Avarie as they face the difficult road ahead together.
