Support Brandon on his road to recovery
Donation protected
Please extend your support to our family during this challenging period. I received a call on March 6th about my father’s accident. My father was cutting down a tree when suddenly it fell and crushed him, requiring a machine to lift it off him. He remains in critical condition in the ICU. Following the incident, he was airlifted to Brooke Army Medical Center, then transferred to University Health Hospital for further treatment. He has undergone six surgeries, including the amputation of his hand on March 5th. Despite efforts to save his leg by transferring an artery from the left leg to the right, it developed an infection, necessitating its amputation on May 12th. He has sustained several other injuries, including fractures to his left leg and hand. He will require intensive care in the ICU for the coming weeks before transitioning to rehabilitation to regain daily functioning.
Despite facing these challenges, my father, a devoted carpenter with a lifelong passion for his craft and music, has remained optimistic and steadfast in his faith. Regardless of undergoing additional surgeries and facing complications, he maintains a positive outlook, finding solace in the knowledge that God walks alongside him through every trial.
With no insurance and an extended period of unemployment ahead, the financial strain is significant. We deeply appreciate the love and prayers we’ve received and kindly ask for your support in sharing this to alleviate some of the stress weighing on him. Your contributions will go directly towards covering medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and basic living expenses for my father as he embarks on the long road to recovery. Every contribution, regardless of size, has a significant impact. Prayers alone can make the world of a difference.
Thank you for standing with Brandon during this challenging journey of recovery
