Medical and Care Expenses For Eddie (Tre) Poster
Donation protected
As some of you may know, we were on vacation mid-August in Virginia Beach as a family. On our last full beach day, my brother, Eddie (some of you may know him as Trè), was swimming in the ocean and dove into the water. He ended up breaking his C4 vertebrae and herniated his C5 disc. He went into emergency surgery that night and has been in the ICU battling different obstacles like neurological fevers, trouble with his lungs and diaphragm, and healing from this crazy accident.
A lot has happened since then and he has made great strides in his recovery. He has gross motor function in his arms and is able to move his right foot. He still has healing to do and improvements to make yet. He will be going to rehab at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital in Philadelphia for a couple of months to go even further in his recovery. Magee is one of the top rehab centers in the nation for spinal cord injuries.
We are asking for help to make sure Eddie has access to the best medical care for his recovery. Funds from this GoFundMe will go straight to medical and health care expenses for Eddie and anything he needs to recover. From covering the cost of his apartment and expenses there, to rehab costs and whatever equipment and physical and occupational therapy he needs during his recovery process, which will likely be over the next year or two.
We aren’t sure where he will be or what he will need in the future, but we want to make sure finances don’t stop him from the best recovery possible.
If you know Eddie, you know he is an athlete at heart and has so much dedication for anything he puts his mind to. Growing up he played basketball, football, and baseball. He is such a talented baseball player and had played for Marietta College and most recently for the UC Clermont Cougars. He has such a blast with his teammates and has a great love for the game.
Eddie is set on walking again one day and we are supporting him with anything we possibly can. He is one of the strongest people I know.
We are so amazed at the support we have received from everyone and are so thankful. My parents are reading all of Eddie’s texts and messages from his phone and he is absolutely beyond proud to see the love and support he is receiving. Please keep kind messages, prayers, positive thoughts, good vibes, and everything in between coming.
