Help Damon & Christine Gerhardt Road to Recovery

Donation protected
We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts and a plea for help. On Saturday, July 15th, 2023, my beloved Aunt Christine and Uncle Damon Gerhardt experienced a horrific accident that left them fighting for their lives. While waiting in line at a food truck, their lives were shattered when they were struck by a reckless street racer. The impact was devastating, leaving both Damon and Christine with severe injuries and thrusting their family into a nightmarish ordeal.

Damon, a loving husband and devoted father to their four children, bore the brunt of the collision. He is currently in critical condition, battling multiple injuries, including a broken jaw, shattered pelvis, and nine broken ribs. In addition to these severe injuries, he is also grappling with blood clots in his lungs, which have further complicated his recovery process.

Their healing journey has been marked by numerous surgeries, grueling treatments, and unimaginable emotional turmoil.

We cannot begin to comprehend the pain and suffering Christine and Damon are enduring, but we are committed to supporting them throughout this arduous chapter in their lives. As they focus on their recovery and reuniting with their precious children, we want to alleviate some of the financial burdens that have arisen as a result of this tragedy.

With your generous contributions, we aim to ease the mounting medical expenses and provide much-needed financial relief for the Gerhardt family during this trying time. The funds raised will go directly towards medical bills, rehabilitative therapies, essential living expenses, and, if possible, replacing Damon's car so they can resume their daily routines as soon as he is on the mend.

We understand that many lives were impacted by this dreadful accident, and our hearts go out to the other families involved. In the face of this tragedy, we believe in the strength of our community to rally together and extend a helping hand to our loved ones in need.

Your support, whether it's through a donation or by sharing this campaign with your network, will make an immense difference in their lives. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will be a testament to the power of unity and compassion.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, kindness, and generosity. Together, we can be a beacon of hope for Damon and Christine as they navigate this long road to recovery. Let us surround them with the love and support they deserve during these difficult times.

May we find solace in knowing that our collective efforts can make a significant impact in their lives. Your compassion is deeply appreciated, and we remain forever grateful for your support.

With love and gratitude,
Malaki and the Gerhardt Family
