Rehabilitation Assistance for Kevin Porter, Sr.

On Friday, December 23, 2022, my husband of 50 years suffered a stroke. It was a scary situation as I found him on the floor that morning unable to move. I called my son for help and he was able to assist him as well, my husband's body was just not cooperating. We immediately called 911 and they dispatched the EMT, where 6 men had to get him off the floor, down the stairs, and into the ambulance. He was rushed to Little Company of Mary, where he endured various tests to determine he had in fact endured a stroke.

After a nine-day hospital stay, he was released to one of the best rehabilitation centers in the city, but he will need to conduct outpatient therapy once he completes rehabilitation. Our family has created this page to ask for help with Kevin's outpatient care, transportation, and overall assistance to his well-being as he continues to heal.

My husband has always been in great shape. As a retired American professional basketball player, he played eleven seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and led the league in assists four times in his pro career. He's an avid golf player and loves to spend time with his athletic grandchildren, so needless to say this situation caught us by surprise and hit us hard. Yet we trust God to heal him completely and we thank all of those who will assist us with this campaign. - Cleota Porter
