A Mother’s Worst Nightmare - Help MarcoAntonio Heal After He Was Stabbed 6 Times!!!
On September 14th, just two weeks after my son’s 18th birthday, my world was shattered. My son, MarcoAntonio Bindel, was stabbed six times in a brutal and senseless attack that left him fighting for his life. The injuries were catastrophic. His lung was punctured, and he lost so much blood that the police and doctors didn’t think he would survive. Over the next several weeks, MarcoAntonio endured unimaginable pain—both physical and emotional—as we spent nearly a month in the hospital, hoping and praying that he would pull through.
He required 6 liters of blood and 6 liters of plasma, 2 life-saving surgeries, and 38 staples to close his abdomen. Each day was a battle. He was in constant, severe pain, with moments where the agony was almost too much to bear. As his mother, I stayed by his side, helplessly watching him suffer, knowing that the road ahead would be long and uncertain.
Through it all, MarcoAntonio’s faith has grown stronger than ever. He told me that he knows this experience was filled with lessons for him to learn, and none of those lessons have been lost on him. He feels a deep, personal connection to his faith, and it has carried him through the darkest moments of this journey.
On September 14th, my son sustained 6 stab wounds, one of which struck his lung, causing internal bleeding. When they finally took me to see MarcoAntonio, the doctors told me they didn’t think he was going to make it.
Although they finished the surgery, they left his abdomen open to monitor for any missed injuries or continued bleeding. What followed has been a month-long journey of pain, uncertainty, and healing. I’ll be sharing those daily updates for our supportive community so you can better understand what these last weeks have held for us.
The Road Ahead: What MarcoAntonio Needs Now
As much as we’ve been blessed with remarkable medical care, there are still many things we need to address to ensure MarcoAntonio’s full recovery:
- Ongoing wound care and treatments for the hematoma
- Monitoring and managing blood clots, including follow-up imaging and treatments
- Physical rehabilitation and nutritional support to help rebuild MarcoAntonio’s strength
- Mental health treatment to support him through his recovery from PTSD
- Alternative treatments like IV therapy and possibly hyperbaric oxygen therapy to speed up his recovery and improve his long-term health
There are also other things about this horrific situation that will need to be covered:
- Private Investigator
- Attorney
The Financial Impact on Our Family
MarcoAntonio’s injuries have created significant financial strain on our family. Between the out-of-pocket costs for his care and the inability for both him and me to work, we are struggling to keep things afloat. While most of his immediate medical care is covered by state insurance, we are facing unknown costs for alternative treatments, long-term health concerns, and lost income.
This unexpected event has set us back financially, but with your help, we can push through and recover.
Before the attack, MarcoAntonio had been building a future for himself through his entrepreneurial spirit. He had founded multiple businesses, each reflecting his passions and dedication.
These businesses were MarcoAntonio’s future, and he poured his heart into them. Now, with your support, we hope to not only cover his alternative medical treatments but also help him rebuild, driving awareness and engagement through his social media accounts.
Please follow and support MarcoAntonio’s business accounts:
- Eterno Roof Recovery: A company dedicated to roof remediation, treating and preventing mold, moss, and other elements. Due to the severity of his injuries and the need to be on blood thinners, he is no longer able to physically work on roofs, halting this business’s operations indefinitely.
- MacB Jewelers: On Instagram (@marcpantnio), MarcoAntonio’s passion for handcrafted jewelry shines. His unique designs reflect his creativity and talent, but his recovery has delayed the growth and expansion of this brand.
- BlackBirdsCloset65: MarcoAntonio created this vintage and antique business (@blackbirds.closet on TikTok and Instagram) in honor of Ilene Kaminsky, a dear family friend who passed away in 2021. Ilene shared her love of vintage and antiques with MarcoAntonio, and this business is his way of keeping her memory alive. Unfortunately, due to his injuries, he has not been able to launch it as fully as planned.
How You Can Help & The Impact of Your Support
We are asking for your generous support, not only to help cover MarcoAntonio’s alternative treatments but also to help him regain his footing in life.
Your support will not only help MarcoAntonio get back on his feet physically but also help him rebuild emotionally, mentally, and financially. He has an incredible spirit, and together, we can help him regain his health and continue his journey towards a bright future.
