<div>Hi, my name is Jerry, A month ago, I went on a motorcycle trip to see the beach in North Carolina — the very first time in my life I had ever seen the ocean. I enjoyed the view, took in the moment, and then began my ride back home. Sadly, I never made it home the same way I left.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On my return, I was in a serious motorcycle accident. There were no witnesses, and to this day, I don’t know exactly what happened. I was conscious during the crash, but those memories are gone. The first five days in the hospital are also a blur.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The accident left me with:
</div>
<div>• A concussion and a small brain bleed
</div>
<div>• A broken right wrist
</div>
<div>• A fractured femur
</div>
<div>• A broken knee
</div>
<div>• Severe nerve damage in my left hand, limiting my ability to use it
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before the accident, I was completely independent and took care of myself without needing help. Now, I find myself relying on others for things I never thought I would need assistance with.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I now have metal implants in my right hand that will need surgery to remove. I require ongoing physical therapy and take Eliquis, a blood thinner that costs about $560 every month.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, I received a hospital bill for over $380,000. I know there’s no way I could ever raise that full amount here — but just having that number over my head is overwhelming. My goal is simply to get enough help to cover the essential medical care, therapy, and living expenses I need to keep going while I recover.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Without health insurance, every medical appointment is very expensive. On top of that, I cannot work right now, so I still have regular bills piling up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will help me pay for:
</div>
<div>• Medical appointments and therapy
</div>
<div>• Surgery to remove the metal from my hand
</div>
<div>• Monthly medications
</div>
<div>• Basic living expenses during my recovery
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This has been the hardest moment of my life, but I’m determined to heal and return to work as soon as I can. Every single donation — no matter how small — will make a real difference in my recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any help you can give.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div>Hola, mi nombre es Jerry. Hace un mes hice un viaje en motocicleta para ver la playa en Carolina del Norte — la primera vez en mi vida que veía el océano. Disfruté la vista, viví el momento y luego comencé mi viaje de regreso a casa. Lamentablemente, no regresé a casa de la misma manera en que me fui.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En el camino de regreso tuve un grave accidente de motocicleta. No hubo testigos, y hasta el día de hoy no sé exactamente qué pasó. Estuve consciente durante el accidente, pero esos recuerdos se han borrado. Los primeros cinco días en el hospital también son un vacío para mí.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El accidente me dejó con:
</div>
<div>• Una conmoción cerebral y una pequeña hemorragia en el cerebro
</div>
<div>• Fractura en la muñeca derecha
</div>
<div>• Fractura en el fémur
</div>
<div>• Fractura en la rodilla
</div>
<div>• Grave daño en los nervios de mi mano izquierda, lo que limita mi capacidad de usarla
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Antes del accidente, era completamente independiente y me cuidaba solo sin necesidad de ayuda. Ahora, dependo de otras personas para cosas en las que nunca pensé que necesitaría asistencia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Actualmente tengo implantes de metal en la mano derecha que necesitarán cirugía para ser retirados. Requiero terapia física continua y tomo Eliquis, un anticoagulante que cuesta alrededor de 560 dólares al mes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recientemente recibí una factura del hospital por más de 380,000 dólares. Sé que no hay manera de que pueda reunir esa cantidad aquí, pero tener ese número sobre mi cabeza es abrumador. Mi objetivo es simplemente recibir la ayuda suficiente para cubrir la atención médica esencial, la terapia y los gastos básicos que necesito para continuar mientras me recupero.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sin seguro médico, cada cita médica es muy costosa. Además, ahora no puedo trabajar, por lo que las facturas regulares siguen acumulándose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tus donaciones me ayudarán a pagar:
</div>
<div>• Citas médicas y terapia
</div>
<div>• Cirugía para retirar el metal de mi mano
</div>
<div>• Medicamentos mensuales
</div>
<div>• Gastos básicos de vida durante mi recuperación
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Este ha sido el momento más difícil de mi vida, pero estoy decidido a sanar y volver a trabajar lo antes posible. Cada donación —por pequeña que sea— marcará una verdadera diferencia en mi recuperación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de leer mi historia y por cualquier ayuda que puedas dar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>— Jerry Alexander H.
