Support Zack’s New Step Forward
Donation protected
Hi, I’m Jordyn, and I’m reaching out to you on behalf of my incredible boyfriend, Zack. As many of you know, Zack is about to undergo hip replacement surgery on February 26, 2025, after being diagnosed with osteonecrosis, a condition that causes the death of bone tissue due to a loss of blood flow. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a 40% bone loss in his right femoral head, causing excruciating pain and making even simple daily tasks difficult.
Zack’s diagnosis came after months of worsening pain in his hip and leg, which has been especially challenging for him as a bartender. With long hours on his feet, he hasn’t been able to find relief, and now, due to the severity of the condition, he requires immediate surgery. Thankfully, he will be in the hands of amazing surgeons in College Station, TX who specialize in this area.
While Zack’s surgery is a major step toward healing, it also means that he will be unable to work for 6 weeks. During this time, we are asking for support to help cover daily expenses and offset the financial burden of his recovery. Zack will be undergoing physical therapy twice a week for 6-12 weeks, and while we are confident that he will come through this stronger than ever, the road to recovery will require some help.
Zack is the type of person who would do anything for the people he cares about. Whether it’s sharing his love for cooking or being the life of the party on the golf course, he is always full of energy and always giving. Now, it’s our turn to help him in his time of need.
Here’s how you can support Zack during this time:
1. Donate: Any financial contribution will go directly to supporting Zack during his 6 weeks of recovery and beyond. Your support will help cover costs related to being out of work, medical bills, and physical therapy expenses.
2. Meal Support: We’ve set up a meal train on Give In Kind (check the link in the description) to help provide Zack with home-cooked meals while he recovers. If you’re not local, you can still support by sending meals via DoorDash or Uber Eats.
3. Share: Spread the word! If you’re unable to contribute financially or provide meals, simply sharing this page with friends, family, or your community will make a huge difference.
We are so grateful for your love, support, and generosity during this challenging time. Zack is eager to get back to doing what he loves, pain-free, and we’re confident that with your help, he’ll be on his way to a speedy recovery.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.
With gratitude and love,
Zack and Jordyn
