Matt Pearce Family Fund
Donation protected
On March 15, 2016, Matt Pearce, a police officer in Fort Worth TX, pulled over two men. One of them was wanted with several warrants. He shot at Matt, hitting him 7 times - once in the cheek, twice in the arm, twice in the chest and twice in the leg, with one hitting his diaphragm and liver. His femur was fractured, and his heart bruised. Matt was declared in critical condition when he arrived at a nearby hospital. We, his friends, want to ensure that his immediate family - his wife and their two little girls, one barely a year old, and one three, are taken care of, and that money is the last thing on their minds during this time.
This campaign is to help our brother, friend, and hero Matt and his family through these times. As people know who have been through events like these, there will be many hidden expenses that will not be covered, including his wife's time off work that the family will have to contend with, in addition to unknowns due to months of physical therapy, and expenses of their children.
Please consider helping make this event for Matt and his family as smooth as possible. Thank you on behalf of Matt, his brothers, friends and family. All funds go directly to him.

Q: Who set this up? How do I know this campaign is legitimate?
A: My name is Josh DeWinter. I am a friend of Matt's, and I created this campaign for him when I heard what happened. We met in college at Washington State University, where we were in the same fraternity, Beta Theta Pi. Look up my Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/josh.dewinter.1 where you will see numerous photos of Matt and I together that I have made public, including some showing me in his wedding. Feel free to message me or even call me (please message me on Facebook for my number).
Matt has been set as the sole beneficiary of the funds from this campaign, but this is being changed. I am in the process of requesting that his wife become the beneficiary, in the event of a long recovery where he can't use a computer, or the unthinkable happens.
