Help for Woody After Bike Hit & Run Accident

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Todd Grosshandler, and I have been a close friend of Woody Pekoske's for more than 30 years. Woody is in need of prayers, financial assistance and ideally justice. On Thursday, Feb. 15, he was riding his bike on Highway 401 in Raleigh when he was struck by a car going ~ 60 mph. The driver did not stop. Fortunately, a good Samaritan did, and EMS was called. Woody was taken to Wake Med and awoke roughly 7 hours later. He is still at Wake Med -- suffering from a concussion, a cracked hip, two broken scapula three broken ribs, and a collapsed lung. Needless to say, he is in a lot of pain and has extremely limited mobility. Of most concern is the right lung that is not improving as quickly as the doctors would like. He will be at Wake Med until that resolves and then will be most likely transferred to Wake Med Rehab. We are still awaiting the police report but need help in finding the person who did this (driver was in a white BMW, we were told). Woody also need lots of prayers. And he needs financial assistance. He lives alone with his dog, Addie, and has no income while he recovers. Your donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to Woody during this challenging time. Please consider helping him. He is a good person with a heart of gold. Thank you!
