Heal the Humemins
Donation protected
If you know Dylan Hume, you know that the last thing he would want to do is burden others, or ask for help. However, if you know Dylan, the first thing you would want to do is help him, if he ever needed it.
On June 9th, Dylan Hume suffered a traumatic fainting episode from a standing position in the middle of the afternoon. He fell with his hands by his sides, so his face and head were the first point of impact on the cobblestones. The force with which he hit the ground was comparable to a head-on car accident.
Dylan has been in the hospital since the accident and he is fighting hard to recover from the facial fractures and head trauma he suffered. His wife Jessica Lynn Hume, their 1-year-old son Gordie, and their family has been with Dylan around the clock to support his recovery.
My name is Jody Geiger, and I have worked with Dylan for the past three years. In my time working with him, I have come to respect him as a rare breed. Dylan sees the best in people and trusts that they want the best for him. He works hard. He doesn’t expect things to be handed to him and he is a fighter. In Dylan’s line of work, his compensation is largely commission based, and he is likely going to be away from work for the foreseeable future while he recovers, so won't earn commission. He is also now on short term disability through his employer, but it only covers a portion of his income. Minnie is self employed as an event planner and this accident has reduced her ability to personally book new contracts. This accident and the expected recovery time will put a significant financial strain on the Humes.
The next steps for recovery are still uncertain, but based on his current prognosis, Dylan will be moved to GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre for an undetermined length of time while he regains his eyesight and works on getting himself back to where he was before the accident. I think we can all agree that this time should be spent focussing on healing and not the financial stress that this accident has placed on their family.
Today is your chance to pay it forward and give back to the Humes and to Dylan, a man whose big smile is only outshone by his even bigger heart. I would like your help in taking the financial stress of daily life like mortgages, bills, groceries and childcare off of Dylan and Minnie’s plate so they can concentrate on healing.
Let’s ignite the community that loves the Humes, and give them the time to heal so Dylan can get back to PLAY PLAY PLAY’ing with Gordie and Minnie!
