Nathan, my son's friend, was shot while going to buy car parts. The bullet went through his shoulder, punctured a lung, and severed his spine. He has been in the hospital for over a month, fighting through surgeries and intensive care. Recently, he was moved to a rehabilitation facility where he is working hard every day to try to regain function in his legs.

Nathan is currently nonmobile and will need special assistance when he comes home. His family is facing overwhelming hospital bills, and they will need to make significant changes to their home to support his recovery—like medical equipment, mobility aids, and possibly home modifications. The emotional and financial toll is immense, and they are doing everything they can to help Nathan adjust to this new reality.

Please consider supporting Nathan and his family during this incredibly difficult time. Any help you can give will make a real difference in his recovery and quality of life. Your kindness and generosity will help Nathan get the care and support he needs as he works toward healing and independence.
