DJ Dryden and Jill Dryden's Love collection
Donation protected
I am DJ's first cousin, we lived across the street from each other when i was little and he was my big brother and protected me. Now, I have to share his story and ask for everyone to show their love for him and my beautiful sister in law; Jill.
On May 6th, 2019 DJ was on his way to see his dad, who needed to have emergent open heart surgery. His dad needed a little coaxing, and had already been having heart attacks. DJ was just 4 minutes away from his dad's when when disaster struck. DJ was in a horrific motorcycle accident! His body was crushed, and bent slammed against the pavement and he laid there fighting for his life! His wife, Jill, got the call and could hear her husband in the back ground, fighting every step of the way. He was then life flighted to the hospital. Jill met him at the hospital. There she learned that her husband had multiple fractures to the skull, his facial bones, and his sinuses, 6 massive brain bleeds, collapsed lung, 4 broken ribs, severe abdominal trauma with large and small intestinal rips, both arms from the elbow down are crushed and broken and his left leg had been crushed and now reconstructed. He has had a total of 7 surgeries in less than 10 days, he has many, many more to go. Unfortunately they do not have health insurance to cover any of this. Of course his wife has been by his side since this happened and has been unable to work and will not be able to return to work any time soon. He is going to need 100 % care when he does get to go home and Jill will need to be there. In addition, poor Gavin is just lost! He is their 8 yr old that is autistic and has PTSD and has great need for daily therapies and appointments. DJ and Jill already had their hands full caring for and proving for Gavin and making sure he had every opportunity he wanted now Jill has to do this on her own and now her plate is even fuller. DJ is going to need tons of specialists and a van or SUV to transport in as he is a big guy. 6'3... Jill has enough on her plate to deal with and now she has to worry about every day bills. I NEED all family and friends to step up and show them both how much they are loved and help them. DJ is a proud man and would give the shirt off his back to someone that needed it. So now its time to give ours. Thank you and please share. Every amount helps.
