Alex's Recovery

On May 2, 2018 Alex Trunzo was on his way to a night class, and was involved in a catastrophic motorcycle accident at the intersection of California St. & Webster St. in San Francisco.  Due to the negligence of another motorist, Alex was critically injured.  I made it there the next morning, just in time for him to go in for the first of three surgeries needed to make him whole again.   We didn’t know if he would make it through the first night, but he’s a fighter, and managed to pull through.   He lost about 40% of his liver, had a punctured lung, bleeding in the brain, bruising on several other internal organs, & fluid in his lungs.  He also suffered a compound fracture in his left arm, fractures in his left hand, a broken right clavicle, a fractured vertebrae in his neck, and most of his ribs were broken.  While recovering from his major injuries, Alex was also faced with not being able to use both his arms, due to his broken bones.  Despite the unimaginable pain and suffering he has endured, Alex is on the road to recovery.  This is all thanks to the stellar care and service he received from the doctors, surgeons, nurses & staff at the Zuckerberg Trauma Center at San Francicso General Hospital, as well as the support, prayers and well wishes of all his friends, family, and especially his partner Alejandro. 
 
Alex still has a long way to go before he will be fully recovered.  He is going to need physical therapy after leaving the hospital.   Although he has good medical coverage, his hospital bills are over one million dollars, and we are not sure if the insurance company will cover everything at 100%.   He is currently on long-term disability, which only pays 60% of his normal salary. Also, since his motorcycle was totaled in the accident, he will need a new mode of transportation, when he is able to return to work.   I would like to assist Alex with these additional expenses by asking for the support of his family, friends, and anyone else willing to help raise some additional funds, to ease his financial burden when he returns home.  I hope you will join me, and thank you for any assistance you can offer. 

Sincerely,
Alex's Mom - Linda Viscuso
