John's Road to Recovery
Beschermde donatie
Hi there!
I've created this campaign for a friend of mine, John Averys. He was recently in a longboarding accident that dislocated and fractured his hip and has left him bedridden.
While he currently does not know how much his medical bills are, more than half of the goal money will be going towards his living expenses such as his rent, car payments, phone, etc. He will have to be in crutches for the next 3 months while he recovers and since he works as a server and an uber driver, he will not have any form of income while he is in recovery. The rest of the money raised will be going towards putting a dent in his looming medical bills.
If you know John at all, you know that he is a kind and compassionate person. He isn't the type of person to complain or ask his friends for help. But due to this entire situation, his spirits have been low.
Taken from his fb:
"After doing pt in the hospital today I just realized how vulnerable and incapacitated I am right now. I’m not one to normally gripe on fb but I’ve always really prided myself on independence and self-sufficiency and I can’t even get up out of a chair and move over to a hospital bed 2 feet away to lay down because sitting in a chair for too long hurts my hip too much.
Idk man, I’m just experiencing a lot of anxiety rn; I had a fever dream last night that I was partying with my brother and friends and dancing and woke up to a 7th day in this bed, legs strapped together so I don’t displace my hip... and even though, yeah I’ve made progress I just don’t know how I’m going to take care of myself. Like, sure I know I’ll find a way, but at the moment I don’t know what way that is and it’s just demoralizing. I feel pathetic. My life was in such a good place before this happened. All I wanted to do was ride around and look at stuff, no crazy tricks, nothing extra, just a little leisure activity to get ready for the day. I’m booked to play a show on my birthday, the 30th and idek if I can do that. I might turn 25 in a hospital bed. I don’t even know how I’m going to dress myself and get to the venue. I can’t walk, I can’t drive. Idk man I’m just in a real low place rn, and i know it’s not a permanent thing, but fuck man life shits on me so hard all the time... just once I want to be able to live my life and not have some random huge negative event fuck everything up. Then there’s the fact that I know I’m gunna get fucked financially by the whole ordeal ugh I just don’t know; the ambiguity of the whole situation is so incredibly upsetting.
I don’t even know why I’m posting this, it’s not that I’m lonely, or need “emotional support”. I can text, but I don’t have enough cell service to pick up any phone calls made to my personal number. If you want to reach out, that’s cool, but I don’t even want to talk to anyone, I just want shit to be okay, and it’s not.
Sorry for depressing your feed I just had to vent."
Gofundme made me remove his room phone number, so if you would like to reach out, let me know or check out his fb!
John shouldn't have to worry about anything except recovering!
