Support My Husband’s Recovery After Tragedy

Donation protected
On March 20th, 2026, our lives changed forever. My husband suffered a seizure while driving in Oakland, which led to two car accidents in a single day. After the second accident, things took an even more devastating turn—his belongings were taken, and he was shot. The trauma from that day has left him facing a long road to recovery, including learning how to walk again.

He has always been the sole provider for our household, and now we are facing mounting medical bills, therapy costs, and daily expenses, all while trying to replace our only car. The sudden loss of his income has made it nearly impossible to keep up with everything, and the emotional toll has been overwhelming.

We are reaching out to our community for help. Every donation will go directly toward his recovery, medical care, therapy, and helping us stay afloat during this unexpected and challenging time. If you’re unable to donate, sharing our story means just as much. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, shared our story, and kept my husband in your prayers. Your kindness and generosity are helping us get through one of the hardest moments of our lives. #SeizureAwareness #EpilepsyAwareness Remember, not all disabilities look the same.
