Help Luke Recover from a Broken Hip
Donation protected
Luke needs help! On Wednesday June 27th, he was cycling to work and unexpectedly fell off his bike. At first he thought his leg was broken as he couldn’t move it at all, but once the ambulance arrived to the hospital and x-rays were performed, we realized that the injury was much worse. That evening Luke underwent an emergency surgery for a broken hip. He’s now in the hospital for a few days, getting physiotherapy in order to be able to walk and go up stairs independently. After that, it’s looking like he will need to take a month off of work. Full recovery time according to his doctors is at least 3 months. This hip injury comes at a time where Luke was already working only a few hours a day according to doctors orders, as Luke had previously suffered multiple concussions and post concussive syndrome. The cumulative lost wages from his injuries is becoming a major stressor as he’s worried about being able to afford food, rent and transportation as he recovers and regains the ability to walk. If you’re able to donate, even just a bit we would really be appreciative. Luke also plans to donate a portion of the proceeds to a women’s harm reduction group. Thank you for your support!
