Help Restore Hope: A New Beginning for Our Beloved Friend, Brother and Son's Recovery



I'm Nick Patterson , 35 and I'm writing this on behalf of Andrew Ellis' family. He is one of my best friend and one of the best men at my wedding. Today I'm typing this request on 9/13/23 which is his 40th birthday and we desperately need help.

In November 2022, the world as we knew it came crashing down for our dear friend Andrew Ellis. A devastating stroke struck him down, leaving him paralyzed and confined to a hospital bed. Life's unexpected twists took a toll on him, and today, he battles not only the aftermath of the stroke but also a permanent tracheostomy and a rare blood disease. We stand at a crossroads, desperately seeking your support to ensure Andrew Ellis can regain his life, independence, and most importantly, his hope.

A Life Changed Forever

Recently Andrew Ellis moved to Oklahoma with his mother Stella and her wife Jenn, embarking on a journey to start anew. He was looking forward to life on their new property as well as riding his Harley Davidson Sportster across the mid-west. The move symbolized a fresh chapter in his life, filled with dreams, aspirations, and a brighter future. Little did he know that fate had other plans.

The stroke that struck him down has left him confined to a hospital bed, unable to enjoy even the simplest pleasures of life. A permanent tracheostomy keeps him from speaking, and the constant struggle against a rare blood disease further complicates his recovery. The emotional and financial toll on Andrew, Stella, and Jenn has been overwhelming.

A Desperate Need for Assistance

We come to you today with a heartfelt plea for help. 's medical expenses have reached staggering heights, and the journey to recovery is long and challenging. Beyond the hospital bills, there's a pressing need to make their home handicap accessible, ensuring Andrew can return to a life of dignity and independence.

Your contribution will go towards:

Medical Expenses: Covering mounting hospital bills, therapy costs, and ongoing medical treatments.

Home Accessibility Modifications: Renovating their home to accommodate Andrew's mobility needs, including ramps, widened doorways, and bathroom modifications.

Rehabilitation: Assisting Andrew in accessing the best rehabilitation services and equipment for a quicker and more comprehensive recovery.

Daily Living Expenses: Supporting Stella and Jenn in maintaining their household while they dedicate themselves to Andrew's care.

Emotional Support: Providing a sense of hope and relief to the family as they navigate this challenging journey.

Your Impact

By contributing to this GoFundMe campaign, you become a vital part of Andrew's recovery story. Your generosity will not only help alleviate the financial burden on the family but also serve as a beacon of hope in their darkest hour.

Every dollar counts, and together, we can help Andrew regain his life, one step at a time. Imagine the joy of seeing him smile again, hearing his laughter, and witnessing his determination to overcome this adversity. Your support will make this vision a reality.

Join us in this journey of restoration, hope, and healing. Together, we can provide Andrew with the chance to start anew and rebuild the life he so dearly deserves.

Thank you for your compassion, kindness, and generosity,
Nick Patterson & Ellis Family
