Support Dwayne Lykins' Road to Recovery

Donation protected
My name is Ashley Kilgore and I am sponsoring this GoFundMe page for Dwayne Lykins because he and his family desperately need financial help.

On a Saturday afternoon, the 15th, Dwayne was on his motorcycle on his way back from a ride when he suddenly lost control of his bike due to blacking out. He was responsive on the ground but in very bad condition. He couldn't move his neck, his hips, and was torn up very badly. He was flown from Mt. Sterling, KY to UK hospital with a broken neck, back, ribs, leg, hip, and his pelvis injury was so severe that he had to have two surgeries back to back. Dwayne does have a feeding tube because his food is going into his lungs.

Dwayne is an outgoing, all-around amazing man. You couldn't ask for a better friend. He has a 16-year-old daughter who's about to start her last year as a senior in high school. They are all very compassionate about helping others. His wife, Vickie, isn't able to work due to his needs and the very long road of recovery ahead. As an example of the kind of person Dwayne is, he will give anybody and everyone all he's got, even if it's his last dollar or the shirt off his back. This family always has empathy for others.

I have known Dwayne, Vickie, and their family since I was very young and grew up around them my whole life. I want to help give them back what they always give to others, so that's why I was drawn to sponsor this GoFundMe page. I know firsthand the magnitude of the cost of living, transportation bills, and medical bills. Dwayne and his family desperately need financial help.

He will have to go to Cardinal Hill Hospital for ongoing outpatient therapy for a while whenever he does get to get out of UK.

This may sound like an astronomical amount, but I can assure you that the care and compassion that Dwayne will receive there is beyond priceless.

The situation could and did happen out of the blue. His family is coping the best they can, but desperately need to be able to give him the extensive rehab and care that he needs. Dwayne deserves the chance to become an independent, self-supporting, and self-confident individual again.

Please donate what you can. All funds are transferred directly to Dwayne and Vickie!

Dwayne has limited insurance. And him being the sole provider for his family that have no income at the moment and won't for a while.

Please donate what you can to help this family in this time of need when they need it the most!
