Help Christian and Eric Strand, Ax Attack Heroes!
Donation protected
On January 7, 2021, Eric Strand and his 21-year-old son Christian Strand were in their garage talking to their neighbor Dave Murphy. Out of nowhere, a crazed man leapt from the bushes, violently attacking Dave with a tactical hatchet, striking him on the head and penetrating his skull and brain. Without a second thought, both Eric and Christian immediately jumped onto the assailant, disarming him and saving Dave's life.
Both Eric and Christian sustained life threatening injuries and were transported by ambulance to the hospital. Both men sustained multiple blows to the head and both have fractured skulls - Eric was knocked unconscious at the crime scene. Both men have deep lacerations covering their arms and torsos. Christian's ear was severed almost entirely, and underwent emergency surgery to attempt to reattach the ear - and will require future reconstructive surgeries on his ear. Christian received multiple face and neck lacerations as well.
Eric spent over five hours having his slash wounds to his neck, back, arms, head, and abdomen stitched and stapled, receiving more than 100 stitches.
A literal axe murderer stormed into their garage and impaled their friend in the head. Rather than run, both Eric and Christian charged at the assailant headfirst, unarmed, and managed to wrestle the axe away from him! Both of these men are heroes, and saved Dave Murphy's life.
These men risked their lives to help Dave, and now they need our help! Please donate to help support heroes Eric and Christian's medical treatment and recovery!
