On May 17th, Davis (Dalton) Dasher left home and was struck by a car while riding his e-bike to work at approximately 9:30 pm. He was found, and paramedics were called. He is now gravely injured and in the ICU. At this moment, I do not have much information about his condition, but I know he will have a long and arduous road ahead, with many medical bills and challenges to face. Dalton is my ex-fiancé and current roommate, and I have known him for over 30 years. Our friendship has endured ups and downs, but he has always had my back, and I would do anything for him. We met during a difficult time in my life when I became homeless and was dropped off at the Coalition for the Homeless. Dalton comforted me, calmed me down, and helped me transition into homelessness with kindness and support. We dated and got engaged, I hurt him and left. Even though we lost contact at times, our connection has always remained strong. He will always have a special place in my heart. I want him to not worry and have a home to return to and that his elderly dog Ollie is cared for. Without Dalton's income, it is difficult to keep his room available, but we would never put him out. I am asking for help to supplement his income for rent, his dog, and medical bills. Dalton has no insurance or savings, and everything is expensive. His sibling is a compassionate, loving sister who is tending to his medical care, and I want to make sure she is not financially burdened in any way. We are barely surviving ourselves and taking care of our own animals, but I am not asking for help for myself. Truly, I am asking for Dalton and his dog. If you cannot donate, please say a prayer to whomever you worship and ask for his healing and strength in the coming days. I will continue to do what needs to be done for this person I will always call my friend. Any support means the world to us and will help ensure Dalton has a place to come home to and that Ollie receives the care he needs. Every dollar counts and so does every prayer! God Bless
