Help Matt Heal and Overcome Financial Strain

Hi everyone, my name is Shauna, and I’m setting up this GoFundMe on behalf of my brother-in-law, Matt.

Matt has been battling a serious infection in his toe for almost a year after suffering a burn injury. Unfortunately, the infection has spread to the bone, and despite aggressive treatment with heavy antibiotics, it has not responded. Doctors have now determined that amputation is necessary, and Matt is scheduled for surgery on Monday.

He’s been hospitalized for over a week trying to fight this infection, and after surgery, he will face a long road to recovery — including weeks off work, healing time, and physical therapy. This unexpected life change comes with growing financial strain, especially as he’ll be unable to work and still needs to afford essential medications like insulin.

If you feel moved to help in any way — through donations, prayers, or simply sharing this page — our entire family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support means the world as Matt prepares to navigate this new normal.

With love and gratitude,

Shauna
