My name is Mike Hughes and I am starting this fundraiser on behalf of a long-time friend and coworker who was seriously injured in a workplace accident recently.

Chris Belanger is a grip in Local 52 IATSE and took a bad fall while working on a strike in Brooklyn this week. He sustained multiple injuries, including a broken bone in his spine, which will require surgery to stabilize. He is facing a lengthy recovery period and will miss significant time. Any donations will help him with unforeseen medical expenses moving forward. Thank you.
