- My daddy, Eddie Porter, is the most caring person who helps everyone he comes across and leaves a lasting impact on them. This has been so apparent by the number of people who have been praying for him, checking on our family, and telling us stories about him. One of his favorite acts of kindness is going on mission trips with our church family to help others. He is a retired law enforcement officer who served SC for over 25 years, and he is the BEST dad. He was in a hit and run a few weeks ago (June 26th) that has completely changed our lives forever. He has many fractures that have required multiple surgeries, including: a skull fracture, several broken vertebrae in his back, a broken wrist, numerous broken ribs, facial fractures, and many other severe injuries. At this time, it is unclear what impact these injuries will have on him in the future.
- We are used to helping others instead of asking for help, so making this GoFundMe is very difficult for us. My dad is the main provider for their household and is unable to do so at this time and for the unforeseeable future. His healing and recovery are going to be a very long process for him, and at a minimum, he will need rehabilitation services when he progresses enough to leave the hospital. Additional future needs for him are unknown at this time.
- We want him back to his goofy and funny self as soon as possible. We appreciate all of the love and support. Please join Cornerstone Church of West Columbia in intentional prayer daily at 1:29pm (the time the accident occured) as they pray for Eddie's healing and restoration. My daddy is going to have a HUGE testimony as a result of this experience, and I can't wait to see how he shares it with each of you! He truly is our hero, and Jesus definitely has his loving arms wrapped around him!
- As promised, we have attached the MealTrain link for anyone who is able to provide a meal for us during this difficult time as we focus on his healing and recovery. We greatly appreciate your generosity. Thank you!!! ❤️ https://mealtrain.com/w0v2g7
