Help Michael Heal After His Tragic Accident

Donation protected
Hey everyone, my name is Kristina McDowell and this past Saturday, Michael was involved in a freak accident — an accidental shooting that resulted in the complete loss of one of his fingers. The incident was both sudden and traumatic, leading to an amputation surgery and now a long road of physical therapy and adjustment as Michael learns to adapt to life after such a serious injury.

The financial burden from medical bills, rehabilitation, and potential prosthetics is overwhelming. On top of the emotional toll, the injury has made even the simplest daily tasks — like gripping, touching, and using his hand — incredibly challenging. Michael is an incredibly active person who’s passionate about weightlifting, pickleball, and staying physically fit — so our top priority is helping him return to the active, healthy lifestyle he loves as quickly and fully as possible.

If you’re able to support Michael through a donation or by sharing his story, it would mean the world. Every contribution helps him take a step closer to healing, recovery, and regaining independence.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
