Urgent Help Needed for an Amazing Family After Tragic Accident

Hello, my name is Steven, and I am a close friend of Bryan and Chelsea. They are unaware that I am setting this up on their behalf, and I want to share their story and who they are.
First and foremost, it's important to note that neither of them has consumed alcohol for more than 10 years.

Bryan and Chelsea were returning home Sunday night after finally finding time for a date night when the unthinkable happened. Exiting Sunrise Highway eastbound, another car traveling the wrong way on the service road caused a head-on collision that was unavoidable.

As a result of the accident, both Bryan and Chelsea were taken to different hospitals with serious injuries. Both have sustained severe and life-altering injuries and will require many surgeries on their long road to recovery. They are navigating life for their three amazing children: a 1-year-old boy, a 6-year-old boy, and a 4-year-old girl who were eagerly awaiting their parents' return.

Bryan has already undergone surgery for his broken leg (fibula and ankle, with exposed bone) and his broken right arm, which is now fully cast. He also sustained stitches and bruises across his body. Once the swelling subsides, he will require additional surgeries and currently has rods supporting his injuries. His injuries will prevent him from driving and working, significantly impacting their household income. Following his hospital release, he faces a long rehabilitation process.

Meanwhile, Chelsea was taken to another hospital with brain bruising, an L5 spine issue likely requiring surgery, a broken hand, and a punctured intestine. She remains sedated since the incident on Sunday evening.

Both Bryan and Chelsea are lead singers in a well-known Long Island party band and will miss the remainder of their summer gigs, crucial for their livelihood. Their love for music and performing together not only sustains them but also brings immense happiness to their audiences, spreading joy through their music at weddings, summer festivals, street fairs, and local events for many years.

It's difficult to express how undeserving Bryan and Chelsea are of this tragedy. They have been integral members of the Long Island community, bringing joy and celebrating with local couples on their wedding days. They are exemplary Long Islanders and role models for all of us.
Managing medical bills and maintaining their household, now with their single income compromised and three children to care for, will be incredibly challenging. Bryan's insurance has denied coverage for subacute rehab, which costs $30,000 per month and is needed upfront.
We are still awaiting details on Chelsea's medical needs. Their recovery is reliant on our donations, as this experience will undoubtedly change their lives forever.

Bryan and Chelsea are exceptional parents, and their strength and love for their children are truly inspiring. They are involved in every aspect of their children’s lives, from running them to karate and dance lessons, to special days enjoying ice cream and watching sunsets.

I have known Bryan since we were 18, and I have witnessed him build a wonderful family and begin what seems to be a successful business.
Please consider supporting this family during this difficult time with any donation you can offer. We need more people like Bryan and Chelsea in the world, and it's heartbreaking to see them facing such hardships. Everyone is working to assist them in any way possible and praying that they will be singing and dancing together soon.

Bryan's inability to drive and work, and Chelsea's uncertain recovery, bring tears to my eyes when I think about how they will manage daily tasks and care for their children. Let's keep them in our prayers and extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who can help this family in any way.

Thank you all for your generosity and support.
