Support Karl Kidd's Critical Recovery Journey

On behalf of the Kidd/Rowe family, I am establishing a Go Fund Me account to

help cover the varied costs for Karl Kidd during his recovery process such

as: rent on his home, utilities, and medical expenses. On Saturday July 20,

2024, Karl's brother, Isaiah became concerned when Karl was not responding

to text messages and would not answer his phone. After being unable to reach

Karl for an extended period of time, Isaiah decided to go to Karl's home to

check on him. Karl did not answer the door. Isaiah felt strongly that

something was wrong, so he broke into Karl's home. He found Karl

unresponsive in his room. 911 was called and Karl was taken to the hospital.

It was determined that Karl had several injuries, the most serious of which

is a significant skull fracture and brain bleed. Karl was transferred to

another hospital where he had emergency brain surgery around 10pm Saturday

night. Over time more information has been discovered as to how Karl came to

sustain such an array of injuries, some life-threatening. Karl was attacked

in the early morning hours of Friday, July 19th while with a friend. I will

not be discussing details regarding the attack on this Go Fund Me. Karl has

experienced many ups and downs since the surgery. As I write this on

Thursday, July 25th, he has yet to wake up. In the first couple days after

the surgery there were some promising signs of progress as Karl was

responsive to pain, pupils reacting to light, and he would occasionally open

the eye that's not injured on the side of his face that did not sustain

fractures. He even began to breathe on his own without assistance! Yesterday

Wednesday 24th, Karl took some steps backwards. He kept spiking a fever for

the majority of the day, reaching as high as 105.3. The medical staff

struggled to keep his fever down. The fever sent him into repeated

convulsions. He was no longer responsive to anything, no longer opening his

undamaged eye, and required some assistance to breathe. The doctors and

nurses tell us it is simply going to be a day-by-day situation for Karl at

this point. He has a long recovery journey ahead. The family is exhausted

and overwhelmed as can be expected. Anything you can contribute to help

lighten the load is appreciated more than I can express. Whether you can

contribute $5 or $50, it is all helpful and of great value to the family as

we navigate this difficult time. We are trusting our Almighty God with Karl

knowing nothing is too hard for Him! He knit Karl together in Ruth's womb

and we know that He loves Karl so much! We know it was a miracle that He led

Isaiah to find Karl, and we are believing in faith that God is not done with

Karl yet. Please keep Karl and the family in prayer! Thank you in advance

for your generous giving. May God bless richly all of you who give!

"Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full-pressed

down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into

your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back." Luke
