Urgent Help for Billy's Medical and Family Needs

Hi, my name is Sarah Nickles. My baby brother Billy was stabbed by an unknown assailant in Lowell, MA early Monday morning while he was in town visiting. Due to his life-threatening injuries, he was med-flighted to Boston. He had a lengthy surgery and is currently sedated and on a ventilator so that his body can heal. He does have health insurance, but it is limited, and the coverage of the care he needs is questionable. He is also the sole provider of his family and will be out of work for an extended period of time due to his injuries.

He's a son, brother, husband, father of 2, uncle to many and friend. This was a wrong place at the wrong time incident and is being investigated by the amazing detectives within the Lowell Police Department.

I am not one to ask anyone for help, but under the circumstances, help is really needed and very much appreciated.

My brother is going to need help paying medical costs and as the sole provider of his family, he's going to need help supplementing his income until he can return to work.

Once he's released, he's going to need to stay in the area for a little bit, so he'll need help with those costs also.

Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated, and if you are unable to donate, please share this with others who may be able to help and say a prayer for my brother. I will keep you updated on his progress. Thank you in advance for your donations, love, and well wishes.

My sister and I went to see him this morning. They were able to remove the ventilator and reduce his sedation. Seeing his beautiful blue eyes allowed us to breathe the breath we had been holding in since yesterday. He will be in the ICU another day or two and then moved to a regular room. Please keep the well wishes and prayers coming.

****Update 9/12/24****

Billy has been moved out of ICU and doing well let the medical staff. He is awake and able to hold conversations with people. We aren't sure how long he will be in the hospital but each day is a step in the right direction. Please continue to send prayers or positive thoughts his way. Please continue to share the go fund me. Thank you

Just a quick update on Billy. All the tubes are out and he's able to eat. Thank you all for your continued prayers. Positive thoughts and donations. We truly appreciate all of you.

Please share the GoFundMe if you can so that we can continue to raise money for medical expenses and to supplement his income while he recovers.

Monday reminded me just how short life is and that we need to love and support each other on a daily basis cuz at the end of the day we don't know if tomorrow is going to be there.
