Help Ron Regé Jr recover from serious injury

On May 30, I accidentally knocked over a large, heavy mirror in my apartment. It hit me as it fell & shattered, cutting a chunk out of my right calf, and rupturing my Achilles. I bled heavily, and might not be writing this if the ambulance hadn’t arrived so quickly.

I’ve been resting & recovering since then. The two dozen staples have mostly been removed, but I’m still not sure how long my complete recovery will take, or if my Achilles will require further surgery.

I’m asking for donations to help cover a variety of unexpected expenses, as well as to pay bills, as I’m unable to work on new projects. As an independent artist, my practice requires constant attention to make ends meet, and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to fully return to my work.

I’ve been staying with my partner Vanessa Santos & her kids, who’ve been caring for me. Some of the funds raised will also be used to help Vanessa, as she’s also had to take time away from her work & practice to care for me.

I’ve already received some contributions from friends, and am humbled & thankful for all of the kind words and assistance.

This accident was frightening & traumatic in ways I don’t yet completely understand. It will have lasting effects, yet I also see it as the opening of a new chapter for me. I look forward to my full recovery, and to returning to my work as an artist. I’m not done yet, and hope to create comics and drawings for many years to come!

Thank You!
