Help Support My Recovery After a Serious Back Injury
Hey everyone,
I’m not a big fan of asking for help like this, but after everything that’s happened, I don’t have many other options. On Saturday, July 5th, I hit my head at the river and immediately felt sharp pain in my chest and back. I went to the ER and, after multiple X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, the doctors found that I had fractured my back in four places — T1 through T4 — and sustained a neck contusion at the C6 vertebra. They fitted me in a full upper-body and neck brace to stabilize everything. The current recovery plan estimates 4–6 months in this full brace, followed by another 1–3 months in a smaller brace. That means I’m facing at least 6 to 10+ months out of work while my body heals.
I’m asking, with a humble heart, for any help you might be able to offer. 100% of all donations will go directly toward medical bills, recovery-related expenses, and helping me stay afloat while I’m unable to work.
Please know: Do not put yourself in a tough financial spot to help — I completely understand. If you can’t donate, sharing this post is just as meaningful and appreciated.
This situation has been painful, humbling, and honestly a little scary — but I’m incredibly grateful to be alive, to be healing, and to have people in my life who care. Every bit of support helps more than you know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
