#RizeUpdate!
On behalf of Matt, his friends and family, as well as the OT Entertainment Foundation, thank you all for your support, thoughts and prayers for Matt's well being over the past 9 months. The past month has brought some BIG changes in Matt's life and your continued prayers are greatly appreciated!
Heres a little update on his progress:
After completing the 3 month intesive treatment at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Matt came back on February 13th to continue his outpatient treatment in Nashville.
He has come so far! Now he is walking, talking, laughing, and finding his new normal. That is a miracle in itself. It was only 9 months ago that he was in an unresponsive state, and no one knew if he would ever wake up.
The month of April brought even more changes for Matt. He is now residing in the care of his family back in Michigan and will continue his rehabilitation treatment up there. He is doing great on his road to recovery and seems to be in good spirts during this difficult transition.
Thanks to all of your donations, and our friends at Music Cares, all of Matt's expenses have been taken care of since his accident 9 months ago which has allowed him to focus 100% on his recovery.
We are continuing to support Matt's needs for the durration of his recovery and will also be able to assist him with the medical bills that are piling up.
On behalf of Matt, and his friends and family, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. #RizeUp
