Russ is a beloved local musician and a dear friend who has always brought joy to our community through his music. Recently, Russ suffered a terrible accident that left him with a shattered leg. He is now in a nursing home, facing a long and difficult recovery that includes extensive therapies and mounting medical bills. As he works hard to regain his strength, there is a real concern that he will soon run out of Medicare days to cover the costs of his care.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward Russ's medical bills, therapies, and ongoing care. Every donation will help ensure that Russ can continue his recovery journey, receive the treatments he needs, and hopefully return home to the life and music he loves.

Russ has always been there for others, sharing his talent and kindness with everyone around him. Now, he needs our help. Please consider supporting Russ on his long therapy journey so he can walk again and get back to doing what he loves. Your generosity will make a real difference in his life, and any support you can give is deeply appreciated.

There will be a benefit for Russ, on Sunday, May 31, 2026 at The American Legion at 3152 Harbour Blvd. Port Charlotte from 3-6.

No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or returns on investment are offered in exchange for any donations made to this GoFundMe.
