Support Derek's Recovery After Hit-and-Run

Donation protected
On May 31st, my son-in-law Derek was walking near his home when he was struck by a truck in a hit-and-run incident. The driver fled the scene but was later located by authorities. After investigation, it was discovered that the driver’s insurance policy had expired just nine days prior to the incident, leaving no active coverage for the damages caused.

Derek sustained significant injuries and is currently unable to work. As the sole income provider for his household, this has placed considerable financial strain on his family. His wife, Summer, is 35 weeks pregnant with their first child, a baby girl who is expected to arrive in July.

This fundraiser has been created to help ease the financial burden Derek and Summer are now facing. Funds raised will be used to cover Derek’s medical expenses, offset the loss of income during his recovery, and assist with household bills and basic living costs while they prepare for their baby’s arrival.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will help this family manage during a challenging and unexpected time. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support!
