On March 31st 2023, the Apollo Theatre in Belvidere Illinois collapsed during an F1 tornado. The theatre was full of metal-loving concertgoers and I was one of them. The roof collapsed trapping me under the rubble and causing me great bodily harm that I had to be put in a medically induced coma. My injuries were dislocation of right hip, fracture of left fibula, fracture of right acetabulum, dislocation of great toe, fracture of vertebra, fracture of left foot, large open wound of buttock, traumatic closed nondisplaced fracture of the tarsal navicular. As a result, I am unable to walk and wheelchair-bound until I re-learn to walk. These injuries kept me hospitalized for two months at two different facilities in Rockford and Mendota, Illinois. Thankfully I am home now, but it will still be a long road to recovery. Money has depleted quickly as I have been paying out of pocket for my outpatient care. I am asking for financial help to cover my medical bills and outpatient care as I will be out of work for several months. Any help would be greatly appreciated, either by donating or sharing my story. Thank you and many blessings to you all.
