My name is Joey Hatchell.

On June 1st, 2025, my life was changed forever. With an explosive to blame, in an instant, my right hand was blown to pieces. Yes, I am right-hand dominant, so this has become the biggest challenge I've ever faced.

I still have one finger and three partials but no thumb. In order for my hand to be functional, I will require a second surgery this fall.

I am asking you to please donate anything you can spare. I have been out of work for months, and even with short-term disability, I still owe thousands of dollars just in medical bills, not to mention the cost of living. At this point, I am struggling to make ends meet.

I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart ❤️. I see it as this being one of life's toll roads, and I just need help paying the fee.
