Saving Matthew Rushin’s life: Next Step

 

First, we are beyond grateful for all of your love and support.

Matthew is a black, autistic twenty-three year old young man who is a model citizen. Life turned upside down and traumatized by the events of January 4th, 2019. 

We need you help and assistance to see this exoneration through to the end. Any donation amount is greatly appreciated.

 He beat all kinds of odds against him: black, autistic, ADHD, anxiety, a traumatic brain injury(TBI) in 2017 that left him comatose for two weeks and which required rehabilitation in order for him to re-learn life functions, including walking and talking. A pituitary cyst was discovered during evaluation and treatment for the TBI. The single car accident which resulted in the TBI has left him with PTSD.  Despite all of these challenges, Matthew graduated with honors from high school, was employed and was an engineering student at ODU.  


He participated in numerous volunteer activities.  He is a gifted pianist, plays the viola beautifully, and he composes music and writes poems.  


Matthew’s life as he knew it was stolen from him on January 4th, 2019. Now we are fighting! 

Matthew is currently a student at TCC and is determined to advocate for others like him. 

Autistic Lives Matthew!
