Kirk Broussard was at a local casino in the Las Vegas area early in the morning of May 26th, 2018  when he sustained a traumatic brain injury while there. 

When he was found, he was semiconscious in one of the restrooms.

After being walked out of the restroom, casino staff members realized that an ambulance needed to be called because of the traumatic head injuries that Kirk had sustained.

After being admitted to the hospital, one of the doctors in the ICU believed that Kirk’s injuries were consistent with being assaulted. 

Consider that Kirk does not drink or use drugs and that he has never had a medical emergency that would have caused him to fall on his own.

The end result is that Kirk sustained a traumatic brain injury called a Subdural Hematoma with multiple skull fractures (3). He was in an Intensive Care Unit for seven full days and in a regular hospital room  for three days. During the time he was in ICU, he required a breathing machine for 4 days to even stay alive and was completely unconscious for five+ days.

When he was finally released after nine days in the hospital, he has had to have 24/7 supervision because he lives alone. Otherwise, he would have been admitted to a rehabilitation center.

So, as you can imagine, Kirk has suffered greatly physically, psychologically and financially. 

Physically, he has sustained major injuries to his face and skull.

 Financially, he has suffered and will continue to over most likely many months. For example, Kirk is unable to work and, because of the type of work he does, he does not get paid unless he is working. More importantly, Kirk's hospital stay, medical staff care at the hospital and ongoing medical treatment is estimated to exceed $100,000. While Kirk does have health insurance, deductibles and co-pays will be in the tens of thousands of dollars.

Kirk's co-workers and managers have been wonderfully supportive of him, chipping in money to help and assuring him that he will have his job whenever he can return to work.

What I am asking for, from those of you able and willing to help, is to donate to help Kirk cover living and medical expenses until he is back on his feet

As you consider a donation, imagine being healthy and fully functioning, both physically and mentally, one minute and then five days later you wake up to horrible injuries , through no fault of your own. 

More importantly, think about Kirk's recovery from his brain injury: forgetting things, struggling to finish simple sentences, worrying every day that his recovery so far is all he will get to and wondering if he will make a full and complete recovery.

As his dad, I have been with Kirk throughout his hospital stay and virtually every waking moment since and it has been heartbreaking to watch. 

Obviously, we are thankful as Kirk gets better but no one can tell us how complete his recovery will be.

Over these next few months, it would be wonderful if Kirk only had to worry about his recovery and not about how he will be able to pay for the many living and medical expenses coming his way.

Thank you, in advance, for considering a donation to this fund.

Also, feel free to share this campaign link with anyone in your network or contacts in your social media who might be interested in reading this. 

Of course, all donations go directly to Kirk.
