Help Duane Recover from Christmas Eve Shooting
Donation protected
Early Christmas Eve morning, while driving for Uber, Duane Johnson and his passengers were brutally attacked in a random senseless drive-by shooting while driving on the freeway in Spokane, WA. The attacker fired multiple rounds into Duane's car, shooting him in the chest.
Seriously bleeding and with a collapsed lung, Duane's primary concern was for the safety of his passengers who had also been injured. Duane heroically drove them immediately to the emergency room while he himself continued to lose blood. They arrived safely but Duane was in very bad shape.
The ER staff over the next hour worked to keep Duane alive, eventually stabilizing him. He is currently in the ICU and stable. The bullet is lodged near his spine but Duane is alert and able to move. Doctors will decide on a further course of action today.
Duane is the most kind and generous person I've ever known. His love for his family and his faith is uncompromising and inspiring. He shows nothing but kindness and compassion for everyone that crosses his path.
His Wife Andrea and his son's Nicholas and Nathaniel will be by his side during his recovery. While Duane will be unable to work for quite some time, the family will need to recover physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Duane and Andrea are not the types to ask for help but I know they will have many unexpected expenses, medical bills and time-off. Let's help them not worry about any financial recovery during this time. Please donate if you are able or consider sharing this on social media.
