Stand with Ethan: $3,000 Medical Debt Relief

Hello, our 17-year-old son, Ethan, was assaulted by 8 adults on March 30th, which also happened to be our youngest child’s sixth birthday. Ethan went to a party with a friend, and those adults decided he was an easy target to beat on while his friend was sleeping. They would not stop, and it took everything he had left to get up and run back to his truck to save his own life. After guiding him to a safe place over the phone, we contacted the police and EMT. We met them at the hospital, and all the tests plus care resulted in $23,000 of medical expenses. After insurance coverage, we owe $3,000. Even as disabled veterans, my wife and I have never asked for help in such a manner, but any assistance is beyond appreciated.
