Help Lou Rotondo Jr

Donation protected

On Wednesday, May 13, 2020, Lou was riding his bike when I car hit him. He spun and flipped over.  Bystanders sprang into action trying to stop the severe bleeding by wrapping a tourniquet around his leg.

He was rushed to the hospital where he underwent a 6-hour surgery. He has extensive damage to his right leg.  His kneecap is completely shattered and had several breaks in his bones.  He has other burses on his body but it's his right leg that took the brunt of the injuries.

On May 14 Lou underwent a 2nd surgery on his leg due to compartment syndrome.  This is is a painful condition that occurs when the pressure within the muscles builds to dangerous levels. This pressure can decrease blood flow, which prevents nourishment and oxygen from reaching nerve and muscle cells. The doctors are trying to save his leg.

 May 17 Lou will undergo a third surgery. His leg needs to be closely monitored and he expects there to be several more surgeries.  At some point, they have to give him a knee cap.

Lou has been in good spirits when we have spoken to him. If you know him, you know he's a loud and funny guy.  It's unfortunate nobody can go visit him right now and he's dealing with this all alone. 

The road to recovery will be very long.  After all the surgeries and hospital stay he will need rehab and need to learn how to walk again. Right now he still needs his rent paid and other bills. He will be out of work for a long time without any income.

Please help with whatever you can. Thank you.
