Help JD through surgery & medical bills

Donation protected

My brother, a very hard working man, husband, new father of a three month old baby boy, & a new business owner. He’s been working tirelessly to get to where he is with his culinary dreams and has just started doing incredible work with his food truck business Aurelian Culinary Company.

Working hard day and night as usual, he was making a late night run to the grocery store for his new food truck business when he happened to run into an unfortunate altercation.

JD was just unfortunately at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was minding his business putting away his shopping cart when he noticed a couple in the parking lot arguing. The man, already aggravated noticed my brother glance at them and reacted in the most unnecessary way for absolutely no reason.

As JD got back into his car the aggravated man blocked my brother from driving off, at this time the man said and I quote “he did not like the way my brother was looking and walking” he then proceeded to shoot at my brother from his car 8 times, 6 of the bullets hit JD. He was shot in both arms, his neck and chin was grazed. His left arm is broken from the bullet penetrations and to our knowledge right now there is currently a bullet stuck somewhere in his chest. 

He’s currently in intensive care, this is going to require several surgeries. This will also take a very long recovery, which means he will not be able to run his business. With no business at the moment, income will be very scarce.

ask from the bottom of my heart for any help any of you can please provide for my brother, his wife and their new born. Your thoughts and prayers for our entire family would be much appreciated as well. 

If no financial help is possible please share this story for JD and his new family who will need all the help, all the prayers, all the thoughts, kind words and positive wishes in these hard times. Thank you for taking the time to read this far.

Bless you all and thank you so so much!
