Help us bring back Adrian’s smile
Donation protected
As some of you know or may have heard, on Sunday, July 19th Adrian suffered a skydiving accident in Hawaii. He was working towards the completion of his certification to jump solo and upon landing his final jump of the day, a strong wind picked up and shot him to the ground with no time or knowledge of how to troubleshoot the fall.
Thankfully, Adrian is able to walk but he suffered multiple injuries - two broken ribs, a broken left arm, fractured his T1 vertebra, and numerous skull facial fractures, including his jaw, nose, cheekbones, eye sockets and broke the majority of his teeth.
He successfully underwent a facial reconstructive surgery but while he is expected to fully recover, the extent of his facial fractures will require a great deal of occupational therapy and emotional healing.
Adrian is not the type of person to ask for help, but his current status puts him in great need of financial support. Due to his injuries, he is unable to work and will not be able to for the reminder of his recovery.
Aside from the obvious medical bills that will result from his core injuries, Adrian will need to get dental implants to replace the teeth that he broke. Unfortunately, the cost for dental implants are extremely expensive, ranging from $2,500 - $4,000, per tooth, and because of its cosmetic nature, might not be covered by insurance.
Adrian is one of the most fearless, genuine and strong-willed people I have ever met. He is a family man, a loyal friend, and a brother of Lambda Sigma Upsilon, Latino Fraternity Incorporated. Anyone that knows him, among all of his other amazing qualities, knows how contagious his smile is. Please consider donating anything you can and share this page to help us bring our friend's beautiful, charming smile back to his face.
