Help Markus Heal from His Severe Injuries.

Donation protected
On Wednesday, July 9th, our beloved Markus Malzberg was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in Brownsville, Kentucky. Due to the severity of his injuries, he was transported by air ambulance to a Trauma Center, where he has remained under intensive care.

Markus sustained multiple traumatic injuries, including:

A Traumatic Brain Injury
Broken ribs and a punctured lung
A broken clavicle
Fractured jaw and cheekbones
Along with other serious injuries requiring long-term medical attention


Since his arrival at the hospital, Markus has been surrounded by love and support from his devoted family:
His wife Katie Malzberg, mother Caryn McQuaid, and her wife Judy McQuaid, his brothers Cody Smith and TJ Mattson and his stepmother Charlene Arguedas-Kovach and her wife Ivannia Arguedas-Kovach, have all remained by his side, navigating this extremely difficult time together.




Why We’re Asking for Help


As you can imagine, the financial burden from this accident is overwhelming. Your donations will go directly toward:

$8,000 insurance deductible
Lost wages during Markus’s extended recovery
Medications and ongoing therapy
Specialized care and rehabilitation costs not fully covered by insurance


Any amount you can give, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in helping Markus and his family focus on what matters most — his healing and recovery.

We are deeply grateful for the love and support from everyone who has reached out. Your kindness means the world.

The Malzberg, McQuaid and Arguedas-Kovach Families
