My name is Eddie Ocasio, and I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d have to ask for help like this.

On April 19th, I was riding my motorcycle home from church — First Church of the Nazarene Shelbyville — when everything changed in an instant.

A vehicle made a complete turn directly in front of me, and I had no time to react. I collided with the vehicle and was thrown off my motorcycle.

The injuries I’ve suffered include a dislocated knee, a fractured fibula, and significant pain and soreness throughout my body.

Right now, I’m facing a long recovery.

I’m a plumber by trade, and I’ve always worked hard to provide for my family. Because of this accident, I’ll be out of work, and even when I return, I’ll be on light duty, which means lost income during a time when my family depends on me the most.

My greatest joy in life is my fiancé, Brittney, and my five children. They are everything to me. As the breadwinner of our family, any time away from work creates real financial challenges for us.

I’m also proud to be part of the Murfreesboro Riders, where we come together to support and help other riders in times of need.

I’ve always been the kind of person who is first to help others. Asking for help like this is not easy for me.

But right now, I truly need it.

The funds raised will go toward living expenses while I focus on healing and getting back on my feet.

If you’re able to support me — whether through a donation, a share, or a prayer — it would mean more than I can express.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for standing with me and my family during this difficult time.

With gratitude,

Eddie Ocasio 🙏❤️
