Help Veteran Mark Bargelski

Hey everyone, this is definitely hard to write out and have to do but necessary. I’m Anna, Mark’s girlfriend. About a week ago mark was stabbed multiple times in the neck, chest, abdomen, arms and back. The worst was his abdomen because it hit his diaphragm and liver. He was rushed into surgery to fix the lacerations but he took a turn when the laceration on his liver went untreated and he had major internal bleeding. He had a lot of blood transfusions and a few more surgeries for internal bleeding but he’s doing well right now and recovering. It’s been a long traumatic week for us all but Marks doing great considering. About a month ago Mark competed in a bodybuilding show and the Doctors said if he wasn’t in such great shape, his outcome would have been a bit different that day. Mark was in the marine corps for 8 years and is a tough cookie, he’s been so positive and strong throughout all of this. He has a passion for health and fitness and bodybuilding and is eager to get back in the gym and back to normal life. We aren’t sure when he will be able to work again and with all the days in the ICU and surgeries and the physical therapy he will be red once he’s out of the hospital, he has a lot of bills to pay and we are struggling to figure out how to get that all done. So with all that said, any little bit helps. We appreciate anything anyone can donate. We understand everyone is having a hard time right now, so we are just grateful for any little bit of help. We both thank you so much.
