Shawn Getty Fighting for His Life

On June 22, 2023, Shawn was involved in an accident while at work. We don't have many details to share at this time. What we can share is that it involved a vehicle fire where he sustained multiple internal injuries and 3rd-degree burns on over 70% of his body (including his head and face). He was airlifted to a Michigan hospital where he will remain in the trauma ICU burn unit in life-threatening critical care. He is heavily sedated due to his injuries and will be undergoing multiple surgeries.

Shawn has a long road ahead of him to any type of recovery. In the best-case scenario, he will be in the ICU for at least 3-4 months and then may transfer to a live-in care facility for rehabilitation. We don't know what to expect for his life and if he will be able to overcome this tragedy, but his family is committed to supporting him through all that he will need.

Right now, Shawn's family has traveled from out of state to be with him on a daily basis making medical decisions on his behalf and helping to keep his life in order until he is healed. We, as his family, welcome any donations and prayers for Shawn to assist with any future recovery efforts.

Shawn has wonderful friends and people that love him. Together, we can give him the strength to overcome all that lies ahead.
