Support William Duque’s Family

Donation protected
Update: Wiliam Duque passed away today surrounded by his family and friends after 2 weeks in a coma  from his injuries sustained after falling from his bike 


I am fundraising on behalf of my 81 year old aunt who has her son, William Duque in a coma due to a bicycle accident that he had on April 11th 2023. She has been by his side everyday taking an Uber back and forth to and from the hospital. William lives with his mother taking care of her; his father passed away last year. William is 44 years old, a proud father of three small children, Liam, Lucas and Maiya. Two weeks ago William went out on his bike to look for a job, a few blocks from his apartment, and he lost control of the bike and landed in a ditch where he fractured his skull and fractured two vertebrates; he has been in a coma ever since. This past week, his organs began to fail, his liver and lungs aren’t functioning and the Doctors feel that there isn’t anything they can do for him. He has had two Cardiac Arrests and now is on a DNR. His family is having a tough time making the decision to remove him from the ventilator that is 100% breathing for him and is the only thing keeping him alive. My cousin Willie was a great man, always tried his best to be a great son and a great father to his kids.Im asking for donations to help his family get through this tragic time. The family has been helping them financially but the costs will continue for these three young kids. All donations will go towards the cost of funeral arrangements and begin a fund for his 3 kids for their education.
