Hello Friends and Family!

I am reaching for assistance because I face a significant knee surgery and recovery which will immobilize me for some weeks to months. I have been living and working in Minneapolis, MN ((How did I end up here? Please insert: the novel, prologue, pending epilogue)).

I discovered a fantastic sport, Australian Rules Football! If you are unfamiliar, as I was, I encourage you to check out some YouTube videos and visit, www.USAFL.com. This sport is best explained to the unfamiliar as a mix of American Football, Gaelic Football, Rugby, and Soccer. It is played on an oblique pitch twice the length of an American Football field, one field wide, and is a full-contact sport played with 18 players per side. If it sounds brutal, it is, but statistically fewer injuries are sustained in this sport than in those listed above.

Ah, to be one of the 1% ... I was injured during a Metro Match (scrimmage) and required surgery. My injuries are a ruptured ACL, minor tear of lateral meniscus, and a bucket tear in medial meniscus. Surgery details pending. 

My amazing Father has been tremendously supportive since my injury and the resulting limitations in mobility and work activities. My semi-retired Father, Ron Fuller, has been blessing me with financial support. However, my surgery and recovery will significantly reduce my ability to generate income and I find I need more assistance without burdening Papa. This is where YOU come in.

Please consider contributing to support me during this time. I am asking for funds that will be used for my living expenses during this time I am unable to work. My initial fundraising target is estimated to assist me during the first 12 weeks (three months) post-surgery.

Thank you kindly for your time and consideration. I will continue to update you as I learn more about this journey and how my life is going to be affected going forward. I'll also post some pictures for all you sickos who want to view the tackle that blew out my knee and the scans of the resulting damage.

Blessings,

Destiny Brink
