Trevor Lake, a healthy and active 38-year-old husband and father of three, suffered a sudden and catastrophic stroke caused by a blood clot that traveled from his leg to his brain.

The stroke caused severe damage to his brainstem, leaving him paralyzed and unable to speak. While he is currently stable, the reality of his condition is life-altering, and the road ahead is uncertain.

Trevor now faces a long and complex recovery. His medical team has made it clear that he will require specialized neurorehabilitation, and the first several months are critical in determining how much function he may regain.

To give Trevor the best possible chance, his care must continue in Phoenix, where higher-level neuro rehabilitation programs are available. This means his wife, Dani, and their three young children must find housing in Phoenix to be near him during this crucial time.

This sudden transition brings overwhelming emotional and financial strain.

Trevor was the sole provider for his family. Overnight, Dani is now navigating life as a caregiver and mother of three, while also managing the uncertainty of Trevor’s recovery.

The family now faces unexpected and immediate costs, including:

-Temporary housing in Phoenix

-Travel and relocation expenses

-Medical transport (not covered by insurance)

-Ongoing medical and rehabilitation needs

-Daily living expenses during this transition

-Adaptive Equipment

This fund has been created to help lift some of that burden, so Dani can focus on being present for Trevor and their children during this incredibly difficult time.

While the future is uncertain, what is clear is that Trevor will need intensive care, support, and time - and his family will need a community around them.
