Our family is asking for support for someone who would never ask for it himself.

In the past week, our brother/son/friend Trevor experienced a catastrophic ruptured disc that caused paralysis from the waist down. Since then, he has undergone two emergency spinal surgeries and remains in the ICU at St. Michael’s Hospital, fighting through the unimaginable.

We do not yet know what his recovery will look like, but we do know it will be long. The road ahead will include prolonged hospitalization, inpatient rehabilitation, specialized equipment, mobility supports, and likely significant home modifications.

To make this even more overwhelming, he and his partner Emily are preparing to welcome their first baby girl into the world — a time that should be filled with joy, not fear about finances and how they will manage what comes next.

Anyone who knows Trevor knows he is the first person to show up when someone needs help. He would give the shirt off his back, lend a hand without hesitation, and never ask for anything in return. Asking for help does not come naturally to him, which is exactly why we are doing it for him.

Right now, we want finances to be the last thing this family has to think about. We want them focused on healing, on each other, and on preparing for their daughter — not worrying about rehab costs, accessibility needs, equipment, or time away from work.

If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. If you can’t give financially, sharing this page and keeping him in your thoughts means so much.

Thank you for helping us surround this family with support as they navigate the long road ahead
