My name is Karessa, and I’ve had the privilege of being Matthew Raymond Lynch’s friend and band mate for over a decade. Matthew is not only a talented musician but also a devoted single father, a skilled carpenter, and a small business owner. His passion for music and craftsmanship has always inspired those around him, and his dedication to his young son is truly remarkable.

Recently, Matthew suffered devastating injuries to both his left and right hands, losing most of his right hand. He was treated at two hospitals and had to be life flighted to a Level 1 Trauma Center. As a self-employed carpenter and musician, he relied on his hands for both of his careers. Without insurance, the financial burden of medical bills and the sudden loss of income has been overwhelming. These injuries don’t just affect his ability to work—they deeply impact his ability to provide for and care for his son. The road to recovery will be long and challenging, and Matthew’s life has been forever changed.

Matthew is the most kind and genuine person I know, with an incredible heart for people. He’s always been there for anyone in need, offering support and kindness without hesitation. Now, it’s his time to receive the goodness he’s always given to others. Any support for Matthew and his son means the world to us, and will help cover medical bills, living expenses, and the adjustments they’ll need to make as they move forward. Thank you for considering helping this incredible family during their time of need.
