Help Young Chef's Recovery
Donation protected
My friend and former co-worker, Chef Brad was wrapping up his day at work when his lung spontaneously collapsed. He is 20 years old and described the ordeal as one of the most painful things he has ever been through. After receiving a spontaneous pneumothorax diagnosis, with no known cause, he underwent surgery and numerous medical procedures.
He is on the fast track to becoming a very talented chef with plans to further his craft in the UK for the next year and a half, starting this August. However, this has thrown a significant wrench in his plans as he is saddled with enormous medical bills and cannot fly to England for the foreseeable future since there is a real risk that his lung could collapse again.
Chef Brad is an extremely committed, hard worker who has dealt with so much in the last year, from a car accident to contracting Covid and pneumonia, all while trying to make ends meet. He will probably not like that I made this fundraiser (as he does not like to ask for help), but he is truly the best and needs our financial support! All funds will be used to help with medical bills.
