<div>On Wednesday, November 5, I was riding to work in Downtown Houston when I hit a large chunk of concrete that blended into the road surface. The impact threw me off the bike and across the sidewalk, leaving me with a broken left arm.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of the injury, I can’t work my waiting job or the supplemental gigs I lined up. Unfortunately, my insurance lands in a gap—it disqualifies me from the hospital’s relief program but doesn’t cover the procedure I need. Thanks to a family connection, I have access to an orthopedic surgeon who has agreed to do the procedure, but I must pay nearly $9,000 up front in order to receive it. Without the surgery, my break won’t heal properly, and I risk being left with a permanent, lifelong disability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before the accident, I was already scraping by with no realistic hope of weathering an unexpected medical emergency. I resisted making a GoFundMe because I wanted to solve this on my own, but the stakes are too high to let pride get in the way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to contribute, it would mean more than you know. Anything beyond the surgery cost will help me cover rent, food, and bills while I recover.
</div>

<div>As you donate, feel free to share your favorite Joel story—no matter how embarrassing. A few good memories would go a long way right now.
</div>

</div>
<div>Thank you for your time and kindness,
