Help Support Chris Mathews & Family

Donation protected
On Saturday 9/8/18, Chris was assaulted in a terrible random act of violence in San Francisco, leading to significant head trauma, hemorrhaging, and multiple skull fractures.  He was transferred to Zuckerberg SF General where he was treated for his injuries and was released for rehab on 9/12/18.

Despite the severity of his injuries, Chris has shown good motor skills recovery. However, his memory continues to be a work in progress where some days are better than others. Chris has a long road to recovery, but we want Chris, Rebecca, and their 2 children to know that they have our support!

I’ve put together this GoFundMe for the many expenses (medical, child care, meal services, time off work, babysitting, etc.) that will come with the long journey ahead. It’s hard for any of us to know what the family is going through, but we can all imagine the emotional, physical, and financial burden this incident will impart on the Mathews family and this is an easy way that we can help.

While we ask that you give Chris’ family some privacy, you can send the family your love and support by:

- Supporting this GoFundMe and sharing this page
- Sending Chris something for his room! (message me for address)
- Sending the kids a toy or book! (message me for address)
- Sending the nurses at the rehab center some snacks! (message me for address)

Thank you to EVERYONE that has already helped the Mathews family so far. To the medical staff at Zuckerberg SF General… thank you so much for taking care of our friend. We are all praying for good results through the intensive rehab process he is going through and will try to post updates on his progress as we get them.

Rebecca, stay strong! You and Chris have a lot of support behind you, we love you both!

Update 9/30/18:
 WOW! We hit $46,000!!! Will have a more in depth update later, but just wanted to write a little bit here to start. Chris is still at his rehab center working with great doctors and nurses around the clock and making good, forward progress. Rebecca is doing a lot of research on where Chris will need to go to next. Thank you so much for all recent support after this story has hit the news! More detailed updates soon!


Please note, no item shall be received in return for donations or gifts to this campaign. Thank you for your support!
