Help Jared's Domestic Violence Fund

Hello, my name is Jared Morgan. My story is one that many can unfortunately relate to. It's a story of progressive Domestic Violence, that escalated to the point to where it altered my life,  well being and livelihood. I'm hoping with your care, understanding, and financial support, I may be able to gain back what was taken from me. Getting back to leading a life full of hard work, determination and adventure.

On January 21st, 2016 my boyfriend of two years viciously attacked me, bruising my ribs, body and shattering my forearm severely. Immediately upon arrival of the ER they rushed me into surgery. I developed a rare disorder -only 200,000 cases recorded- called compartment syndrome (immense pressure build up that begins to irreparably destroy muscle, vein and skin tissue) that caused my indefinite stay in the hospital, and my future rehabilitation.


It was this emergency surgery that saved my arm from amputation. For that I am more than grateful. Since then I've had 3 more surgeries, equaling a total of 5 surgeries in a week and 2 days.
With more to come including skin graft surgeries where they will take skin from my thigh and transfer it to my arm. The wound cannot be fully closed on its own due to the compartment syndrome. So this is crucial for fully closing my wound.
Unfortunately I couldn't afford private health care so as a result I'm drowning in impeding medical and financial debt. I have never in my life been at the mercy of others for simple things like opening a milk carton, getting out of bed, putting on clothes, washing myself or even just eating. All the tiny things in life we all take for granted are a true challenge for me. But the real challenge is not being able to do what I do best. Work with people.


I've been a happy and vivacious server my entire working career. It is sad to say that my career was ripped away from me when my 6'7 240 pound boyfriend decided to brutally attack me. It was in those few moments that I was robbed, leaving me with no way to earn a living for as long as it takes for my healing process to resolve.


I now have to go into the care of my parents 1000 miles away, for months, and be a burden on them, once I'm released from the hospital. I'm a 33 year old man who has been living independently for years, and now I'll be fully relying on my parents and organizing immense medical bills all while trying to recover and rehabilitate.

I do have a great support system. I've learned, by going through this, the vast amount of people willing to go out of their way to rescue me in my time of need. I've never felt so blessed in my entire life in this way. Yet these people don't have what it takes to help me pay this next few years for physical therapy, medical bills, pain management, my car payment and insurance costs, rent, groceries and day to day amenities. Also, nobody can replace my livelihood, inner peace and even my independence that were taken so violently from me. I ask now outwards and into the world for something I've never been good at doing. Which is help. I've been a strong, hard working, independent, homosexual man my entire life, and pride myself on what I've accomplished alone. Yet, I've learned you can't do everything by yourself. The strongest, most successful people have one thing in common. And that is they've had many others help them on their road to success. So now that time is mine. And I stand here humbly asking for yours.

Thank you so much for your time and generosity. With your donations my stress and tribulations will lay waste side for a speedy recovery and will generate positive results for myself and those around me. I know I will not be able to be the best I can be without you.

Sincerely,
Jared Matthew Morgan
