Help Derrikk Rebuild After Tragic Accident
Donation protected
Hi my name is Derrikk, and this is my story.
I was on my way home from work on Saturday at around 1 am that is when my shift was over, my boss was giving me a ride home from work. For whatever reason my boss thought he was being cool and decided to hit the hwy from the exit ramp going 90 this is when the cop clocked the driver and the cop tried to inciate a traffic stop for speeding again he decided to run from the police reaching speeds up to 136 mph the cops say the disengaged the pursuit when they lost sight of them a few miles down the road. Officers were then dispatched to a car accident just a few miles away when they arrived they found the driver from the pursuit had crashed into a concrete block on my side of the car. Two people were said to have stopped and pulled me out of the car just before it caught fire. The driver was not injured but Paramedics took me to the hospital and rushed me back to the OR as my organs were shoved up in my chest cavity and my diaphragm had a laceration they needed fix. They also removed my spleen at that time, as they couldn't stop the bleeding. My pelvis was broken in two places which I had to have surgery on to put plates and screws in to hold them in place. My face was broken in several spots one being the bone that holds your eye sockets and nose together my nose was shattered and I had to have plastic surgery to repair my facial structure. I've been on life support twice in the week I've been here. Doctors say it's gonna take a while to get right again. But I will..
I do have a lawsuit against my boss and am trying to see if my employer can help in anyway. Bills are already gonna stack up and my rent wont stop needing to be paid, as well as my utilities. I am also gonna have to figure a new place to live out as my apartment is on the 3rd floor right now it's gonna take me a second to learn how to walk again so stairs are out of the question. I am gonna need some financial help for a minute, If you can't donate, please share my story. Thank you to everyone in advance. Derrikk
