Daniel Bruner & Dena Latincic

In January, my life changed in an instant when I was hit by a car while riding my electric scooter at 54 mph. The impact left me with a broken ankle—the bone was sticking out and my foot was facing backwards. I also broke my tailbone, right hand, eye socket, and nose, and suffered severe road rash all over my face and body. Since then, I've had five surgeries on my ankle, but complications set in when the hardware became infected. We had to remove it early, and now I go to Lee Memorial Hospital every day for infusions, hoping my ankle will heal. Unfortunately, the doctor believes it may break again, which would mean more surgery and starting the process over. It might be another year before I can walk again. This accident has turned my world upside down. I lost my job and am struggling to keep up with basic expenses. I don’t have insurance, and I was denied Medicaid, so every doctor visit comes with a co-pay I can barely afford. Most days, I rely on Lyft rides to get to appointments, and my wife has been doing everything she can to help, but it’s become too much for her. We’re falling behind on rent, phone bills, and medical supplies, and I can’t get any outside help. I would be truly grateful for anything. Every bit of support means so much to me and my family during this difficult time. Your kindness can help me cover medical costs, transportation, and essentials while I focus on healing and getting back on my feet.

My name is Daniel Bruner, I am 45 years old. I was born and raised in Fort Myers Florida. On January 2026 I was on an electric motorcycle that went about 54 mph. I was on my way to sell it because I was afraid of it because of how fast it went fir an electric bike.On the way to the guys house that I was selling it to some guy behind with road rage hit the back of my bike and made me wreck. The sad thing was he never stopped to check on me and I wasn’t wearing no hamlet. . I sustain so many injuries that I don’t think I will ever recover from these injuries.I have already had 4 surgeries since the accident which happened January of this year . Because of this accident. Im still not able to walk and do a lot of things by myself like showering, getting dressed and etc. My doctor told me that he hopes that the time will come that I will be able to just put some weight on it. Because as it looks I might never be able to even walk on it again period.I have already had 4 surgeries and there is many more to come. I had a normal life with my fiancé working everyday and coming home but since this accident I have been really been stressed and questioning my life. I don’t want this burden passed on to my girl. She takes care of me, and everything in the house and all the chores and all the bills. This has taken a toll on her and me physically and mentally I would never even come out like this and ask anyone to help me or even read my story. I know a lot of people in this world come up with stories and lies just to get honest people to help them when they don’t need it but that’s not my case. I have pictures , doctor letters,and many more things to prove what I am saying is true and really needing help. You can look into my story before you decide you want to help us. I pray whoever reads this will pray on it and find it in your hearts to help me and my family with these medical bills, and all the other expenses that has come are way. and everything else that’s still coming at us. I take have to take Lyfts to my appointments because my girl has to take the car to work so that’s another problem we are facing. she has to go to work. Everything is becoming to much on us and I don’t know what else to do? So I am coming to whoever reads this with a open heart and on my knees begging you to help us in anyway you can. Anything will be a blessing and so appreciated. I feel so bad writing this letter and asking for help but I have no other choice. So I am putting my pride to the side to ask for anyone’s help. This isn’t something I would do but I can’t keep looking at the stress and pain on my girls face every night. She’s so scared because we are sinking in bills. I have no insurance so everything is on me and her. . My fiancéis the only one bringing in money. So the bills are getting outrageous. The Lyft rides are getting outrageous with no help from the governor or anybody else. I don’t have any family because they all passed away. So i am asking for anybody’s help. I don’t do this kind of thing but I don’t know what else to do. I just hope someone finds it in their heart to help me and my girl out.I don’t care what it is you can help us with. I I have to get infusions at Lee memorial hospital everyday for the next 16 weeks to try to stop an infection in my ankle from the 4 surgeries that I have already received. They never found the guy who hit me. I received a broke nose, eye socket, left hand, my tailbone and pelvis. The worst injury was my left leg. My ankle bone broke through the skin and was facing the wrong way. I have plates and 23 screws and plates in my leg. My body won’t except the hard wear so it’s causing a really mad infection but we can’t take the hard wear out because my bone isn’t growing together and strong enough to remove them so we can’t take them it out. It’s really bad. I got a letter from my doctor the other day saying I won’t be working fir a long time if I am ever able to work again. I will upload all the pictures and papers from my surgery and doctors saying what was done and still to be done. I feel so bad to be writing this but this is my last hope and prayers. So I am begging anyone who reads this to please help me out. I understand if you don’t have it. I’ll take a prayer. It’s the thought that counts. Whoever finds it in your heart and helps. I want you to know that I am very grateful.It doesn’t matter what it is you can donate. It’s the thought that counts. Please find it in your heart and help me and my fiancé from losing everything. This was one of the hardest letters that I have ever had to write but it’s my last hope. Well Thank you all for your time and most of all God bless you if you was able to help us with anything. And for any type of prayers. I understand a lot of people out there ruin it for the ones who really need the help. If you are not able to help us . You could you please say a prayer for us. I would really appreciate it. Thank You you all for your time. God bless you all
