Hello, my name is Wendy. On Friday morning, April 4th, my husband left to pick up some eggs so he could make me breakfast. He did not come back. He was hit from behind on his scooter and thrown onto the sidewalk in Center City, Philadelphia. Before he lost consciousness, he somehow managed to call my phone and tell me what happened, where he was, and that he loved me. I dropped everything and ran three city blocks faster than I thought I could, hoping that I could get there before the ambulance would leave without me. I made it. As I rode along to the ER in the ambulance, he was in and out of consciousness, which continued in the ER. After numerous tests and scans, he was moved to ICU with a subdural hematoma (brain bleed) and multiple facial fractures.
We love Philadelphia and came here temporarily to be by a family member at a time of need.
We are now facing many challenges as a result of his hit-and-run accident. He has no health insurance here, and the emergency and ICU care that was given, the facial surgery he requires to reconstruct his face, and continuous follow-up care is beyond our financial ability.
He is my rock, he is my best friend, and has been by my side for thirty-eight years. He has always been there through all of my medical scares in the past, including my colon cancer and most recently my spinal surgery. Now it is my turn to take care of him because I can't imagine a life without him and I need to do everything I can to be there for him as he has always been here for me.
So with all my humility and my love, I now ask for anyone who is able to, please help me help him.
