Cycling Accident Recovery Fund for my Dad

Hi, my name is Damaris Vanecko.

This past Monday, my dad—who absolutely loves cycling—was in a serious bike accident while riding in Myrtle Beach. He was badly hurt. His shoulder separated, he broke five ribs, both lungs collapsed, and he had a bad case of hematoma- his knee is swollen and black and his whole body is all scraped up. Doctors also found a ruptured artery in his stomach. He ended up having to go through a five-hour surgery to get plates put in his chest so his broken ribs wouldn’t continue to puncture his lungs.

He’s now two days in the ICU and has been in the hospital for six days so far. He still has about a week ahead of him to recover.

We’re doing everything we can to stay strong, but the medical bills are overwhelming—especially since this happened out of state. If you’re able to donate or even just share this page, it would mean so much to me and my family. We’re just trying to get my dad the care he needs so he can heal and get back to the things he loves.

Thank you for reading and for any help you can give.

With love,

Damaris
