<div>Hi friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Chris Hannigan. Many of you know me as a singer-songwriter, a dad of two, a partner to Adelina, and a friend or family member.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Happened
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In September 2022, just two months before the birth of our second child, our family was in a serious car accident that changed everything.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A Toyota Tacoma struck our Corolla and totaled it. Thankfully, Adelina — who was very pregnant at the time — and our two-year-old daughter were evaluated at the hospital and cleared of long-term injury. Our unborn son was also declared unharmed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I wasn’t as lucky. I suffered a whiplash injury while my head was turned — a detail that makes the symptoms much more severe. Since then, I’ve experienced daily chronic pain, limited mobility, frequent headaches, tremors, and emotional strain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where Things Stand
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since the accident, I’ve had over 200 medical appointments and therapy sessions. I’ve made real progress — and I’m deeply grateful — but I still rely on weekly treatments just to function, parent, and perform basic tasks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Financially, the toll has been steep. The cost of uncovered treatments and medications, combined with lost income and a delayed settlement, has caught up with us — and I’ve reached a point where I can’t carry it alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve continued writing and performing music, but I’ve had to adapt. I now sit during most shows and have scaled back significantly. Music and creativity remain lifelines for me — but continuing to show up in those ways requires help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How Your Support Helps
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contribution will help me:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Stay current on essential bills
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Continue the treatments that are helping me heal
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Regain some financial stability
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Keep creating, parenting, and showing up for my community
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why Now
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I probably should have launched something like this sooner. But now — nearly three years into recovery (1,052 days) — it feels like the right time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This support will ease the burden on our family and give me a clearer path back to doing what I love. It also helps take pressure off Adelina, who’s been unwavering in her support throughout this long, unpredictable journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If a song, show, conversation, or piece of art we’ve shared has ever resonated with you — this is a moment when your support can truly make a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you’re able to give or simply share this with someone who can — thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Chris Hannigan
</div>
