Recovery Agent Ralph Cornell shot while working.

Ralph Cornell is a recovery agent in the Chicago area.  On Friday April 20th, 2019 while performing his asset recovery duties, Ralph was shot by a coward who snuck up behind him and fired without warning.

The gunman fired shooting Ralph through the back of his left thigh and exiting the front of his leg.  Ralph fell to the ground, pleading with the man, telling him that he had children at home.  The gunman told Ralph: "I don't give a f**k", and fired again shooting Ralph in his other leg.  The gunman then made him CRAWL back out to his truck, where he collapsed in the street and laid there until someone finally called 911.

Ralph was finally rushed to the hospital.  He is left unable to work, to provide for his family,  suffering nerve damage in his leg as a result of the gunshot.  Ralph is a devoted father and step-father to a beautiful daughter and step-son.  Ralph worked hard to provide for his family.  Since this tragedy, Ralph has been unable to work and care for his loved ones.  Ralph now faces a very challenging future of physical therapy and possible surgeries to attempt to repair the nerve damage done.  He has a long physically and financially challenging road ahead.

We are looking to help Ralph and his family so that some of the worry can be taken off their shoulders and they can focus on Ralph's recovery.  We are just wanting to make sure that Ralph and his family can keep the roof over their heads and food on the table while they can keep the focus on Ralph getting better and stronger.  

It'll be one day at a time for Ralph, but with your help, those days can be a bit brighter...

Thank you!
