Help Dean Heal: Support His Recovery After Surgery

Three years ago, Dean’s Hughey life changed in an instant. He was in a severe car accident caused by an uninsured driver, leaving him with multiple injuries—including a torn stomach muscle. At the time, he had no medical insurance and was forced to manage his recovery on his own while continuing to work full-time to make ends meet. As a divorced man with no financial safety net, he had no choice but to push through the pain.

Over the years, his condition worsened, and despite finally getting insurance, a recent bad fall made things even more severe. His stomach muscle tore even further, and now he requires urgent surgery. The recovery period will be at least six weeks, during which he won’t be able to work. Unfortunately, his employer does not offer short-term disability benefits, meaning he will lose his entire paycheck during this time.

Without income, Dean is facing a devastating financial situation—unable to cover basic living expenses, let alone medical costs. He is reaching out for help so he can focus on healing without the overwhelming stress of losing everything he’s worked so hard for.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will help Dean get through this difficult time. If you’re unable to contribute, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to him. Thank you for your kindness, support, and generosity.
