<div>My name is Phil. I was very recently a victim of a hit-and-run head-on collision. As a result of that accident, I required two ambulance rides, two ER visits, two surgeries to repair multiple broken bones in my right foot, and a two-week hospital stay.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>I will require a very long recovery with many medical appointments, including weekly post-op visits with the orthopedic trauma surgeon for up to four months, followed by many weeks of physical therapy to walk again.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Many of these expenses are not fully covered, or not covered at all, by insurance. For example, transportation to my many medical appointments. I will not be able to drive for many months, and I need to pay out of pocket for transportation. The costs for a round trip on Uber to the orthopedic trauma center alone are $250-$300 round trip, weekly. The costs for mobility devices like a knee scooter, walker, and the many different types of orthopedic shoes that I will need are also not covered by insurance. Same with other devices like a shower bench.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I also still don't know how much my total out-of-pocket costs will be for all the emergency transport, surgeries, and the hospital stay, but the total is close to $200K so far, and it seems as if I get a new invoice in the mail every day.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I want to thank all of the Good Samaritans at the accident scene who kept my leg raised and placed a tourniquet on my right ankle before fire and rescue arrived. I most likely would have required a transfusion without your clear thinking and assistance.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>I am again asking for your kindness with any financial assistance to help me in covering these costs. It will be greatly appreciated. Thank you with all my heart.</strong>
