On the evening of August 19, 2026, my dad Nadir was driving on FM 1385 near Aubrey, Texas, when another vehicle crossed into his lane and caused a devastating multi-vehicle crash. According to the Aubrey Police Department, a northbound vehicle failed to maintain its lane, crossed into oncoming traffic, and struck another vehicle head-on before also hitting my dad's car. His car was forced over a guardrail and into a creek, landing upside down and fully submerged, with him trapped inside.

Emergency crews worked to free him and began life-saving measures on scene. He was first taken to Celina Methodist Hospital, then airlifted to Dallas Methodist due to the severity of his injuries. He is currently in the neurological care unit, and doctors have told us he has suffered brain damage from prolonged submersion. His vitals are stable, but he remains unresponsive as we wait and hope for him to wake up.

My dad does not have health insurance, and our family does not have the resources to cover the cost of the care he needs — both now, in the ICU, and in the months of rehabilitation that will likely follow once (God willing) he regains consciousness. Brain injury recovery is unpredictable, and we are committed to giving him every possible chance and every possible day of care, no matter how long that takes.

On August 26th, Nadir turns 57. Instead of celebrating with him, our family is sitting at his bedside, hoping for any sign that he can hear us.

Any contribution — big or small — would mean the world to our family right now. Funds raised will go directly toward his hospital costs, ongoing neurological and rehabilitation care, and other expenses tied to his recovery. We will post updates here as his condition changes.

Thank you for reading his story, and for any support you're able to give.
