Support for Eric Gaddy

Family and Friends,
This is a true story that could happen to anyone of us, at anytime.
Imagine sitting on your couch with your best friend and having a tea. It was a beautiful day and love was in the air. Then you said goodbye to your wife and departed for the day, not knowing that you wouldn’t return home.
Then out of the blue you get super hot and sweat is pouring out of your pores. Your vision becomes blurry with an increased tornado effect, where your vision becomes tripled and spinning out of control. The next thing you know you pull over, put your seat back and turn on the AC in winter. You awake an hour later and nothing has changed. You open the door to get out of the car and you fall to the hard cold concrete of a parking lot. No one stops, as most feel as though you are drunk.
On the ground you rest, and it takes 30 minutes to climb back in the car. In the third hour you awake with no movement on your left side and your speech is slurred to an unrecognizable voice. You find the energy to call your wife and ask her to come get you and she states, “call 911 IMMEDIATELY” I’m on my way. Thirty-five minutes later the Ambulance shows up (at this point it’s been over three hours since your day went upside down).
EMS didn’t even give you the treatment they should of at first glance, because even they “THOUGHT YOU WERE INTOXICATED”. It wasn’t until they noticed your left side was completely paralyzed that they knew it was something much worse. A stroke was in progress and they rushed you to the hospital just three blocks away.
Here are some first day, fifth day and fourteen-day pictures.
The problem that some will face in this situation, is proper care due to lack of finances. The first 90 days after a stroke is the most important time for any patient to have near 100% recovery. If there is a delay to those who lack the financial ability to pay for proper medical treatment that near 100% decreases hourly, not just daily. Pushing recovery out to years, if ever.
This man has those that are special to him, as we have people that are special to us. Now is the time that we help this holiday. This man whose name is “Eric Gaddy” spent his Christmas night in the ER and has been there since. We light a candle to bless peace on earth and to come together for those that are in need.
Eric needs us all, because we all can relate and if not today, it could be tomorrow or the next. Strokes happen and there is ZERO warning.
Our goal is to get Eric into a rehabilitation facility that will allow him to have the proper physical and speech therapy needed for him to recover. He should be able to just focus on his recovery and not what is needed to secure his wife, home and piles of medical bills to come. Recovery is our number one purpose.
$4,500 is our goal to get him into The Oaks (a well-known Rehabilitation facility) where he will be supervised and given the treatment needed daily, this will allow Eric a better chance of full recovery. The $4,500 goal is just the start as the medical bills are high currently already.
It’s the power of a dollar, four quarters, the power of that dollar gets the energy it needs by all of us coming together by the people for the people in need. A single dollar carries no weight, no meaning, but when it’s joined by worldly hands, that dollar becomes a voice.
We are platforming on social media, Facebook pipeline of worldly returns. It’s going to be moving to see how many this GO Fund Me will reach. And at what ends of the earth that dollar comes.
How Loud Is Your Voice?
Thank You,
