Rally for Bradley Collins: Stroke Recovery Fund,

On December 30th, 2024, my brother, Bradley Collins, suffered a major stroke. After receiving initial treatment, he was transferred to acute rehab in Kokomo, where he made significant progress. Since then, he has been released home to begin outpatient rehabilitation. However, the road to recovery is long, and Bradley will likely be off work for several more months as he continues his recovery process.

I’ve created this GoFundMe account to help address the financial challenges Bradley and his family are facing due to his extended medical leave. For the past few months, he has been unable to work as a Kokomo Area Paramedic, and it’s anticipated that he won’t be able to return to work for some time. Bradley is a strong, resilient person, and while he would never ask for help himself, I, as his brother and a veteran social worker, believe it’s in his best interest to reach out for support during this critical time.

Bradley has dedicated over 30 years of his life to serving the Kokomo area and surrounding counties as a paramedic. He’s saved countless lives, and has delivered more than seven babies in the field. His impact on the community is immeasurable, and he has been a steadfast presence in medical emergencies throughout Grant, Howard, Blackford, Delaware, Tipton, Wabash, Miami, Clinton, and Marion counties. Now, it’s our turn to support him as he works towards recovery.

Bradley is determined to return to the job he loves, and with the right support, we know he will make a full recovery and continue to serve the community. Please consider donating to help cover the financial strain of his recovery and rehabilitation, so he can focus on getting better and eventually return to the career he’s passionate about.

This is my request—to support my brother in this challenging time, as he has supported so many others throughout his career. Your generosity will make a difference, and we deeply appreciate any assistance you can provide.
