Garrets med bills and rehab

Garret was assaulted outside his job in downtown Huntington Beach by two men on March 10, 2017. He refused to give them free pizza, they waited outside for him, pulled him in to an alley and almost beat him to death. He had emergency brain surgery at Hoag hospital with a large piece of his skull being removed and the rest of his brain severely bruised and damaged.

Thankfully HBPD was very quick and arrested both men. One of the men has already been bailed out.

We are still waiting to see if he will wake up, if he does, he faces months and possibly years of rehabilitation, psych. counseling, and medical bills!! Not to mention livin expenses etc.


Gofunme asked that I add a little information about myself in case anyone was curious. My name is Katelin! I am 26 years old and I am Garret's good friend of the last 7 years and also his roommate. I have spent most of my life in Huntington Beach and I have a very strong connection to this city. Since this is Garret's money I have no idea how he will want to spend it! He will probably want to blow it all buying his dog Rosie a new mansion dog house.  But my guess would be living expenses and paying off any bills he incurrs at this time.  All of the donations accepted at this time are in Garret's name and nobody has access to them except for him!

Thank you everyone for continuing to show support. I honestly never thought the gofundme would get this big. It is incredible!
