Help Gal Raise Funds for His Surgery

During our soccer match against Sioux Falls Thunder FC on June 9 in South Dakota, Med City FC goalkeeper Gal Elyashiv was badly injured in a collision with a Thunder attacker. As a result of the collision, Gal suffered a concussion, a split lip and several fractures to his cheek and orbital bones. Gal has already had surgery on his lip and will undergo surgery to fix his cheek and orbital bone next. He has also had multiple trips to the emergency department for pain management and an overnight hospital stay, as well.

We ask for thoughts and prayers for Gal during his surgery and recovery. We also ask that, if you’re able, you would consider helping Gal financially. As an international student/player, he doesn’t have health insurance and the surgery to repair his cheek and orbital bones is estimated to cost a minimum of $37,000. If there are complications or he has to stay overnight, that cost could go much higher. That’s a huge burden for anyone to have to bear!

If you can help Gal to cover these expenses, we'd encourage you to do so! Thank you so much!
