Our nephew Josh a normally healthy and fit person fell and caused what the surgeon described as "the worst herniated disc I have ever seen".  He has been out of work for almost a year. And may not be able to work for upto 2 years. He is always the first to offer to help others. My hope is his kindness can be returned. Understandably the threshold requested is only a small fraction of the help he will need to pay medical bills and living expenses.  He has stayed pretty positive considering everything and just wishes everyone would try to stay healthy - cause you never know when your health will be needed the most.

Please read his story below and donate if you are able and please either way, share this as much as you can. Thanks in advance for the kindest and generosity you can offer:

Josh was going for a run one morning, being the active fit person he has become. Josh had a bad fall while running. He already suffered from a few back conditions, however the fall made them even worse, resulting in a severe case of a Herniated Disc in his L4 & L5 vertebra. The herniated disc was pressing up against his spine putting immense pressure on the nerves that control the function of his bowels, bladder and the feeling in his legs & feet, leaving him immobile. 


Josh was rushed into emergency surgery where he had the herniated disc removed. His Doctors & Surgeons said it was the worst case they had ever seen. 


Now that the surgery is over, Josh has a long road to recovery ahead of him. Between the hospital stay and rehab facility he will accrue over a month of hospital bills. 
He has lost sensation of his legs & feet and sensation/control of his bowels & bladder which doctors are saying can take up to 2 years to gain back, if at all. He is also learning to walk again. 


For those of you that know Josh, you know that he is an easy going guy with a positive spirit, who is passionate about helping others. Josh chose a career path in the Hospitality Industry which is fitting to his caring nature. 


Josh has been successful in the hospitality industry until he was furloughed in March 2020 and continues to be, due to the pandemic. 


We created this GoFundMe in hopes of raising some funds to assist Josh with his medical bills and anything he may need during his long road to recovery. 


We know Josh is a strong willed and positive person, so he will get through this. 
We sincerely appreciate any contributions from friends and family alike.
