I never thought I would be asking people for financial help, but after my motorcycle accident on September 10, 2026, even getting to the doctor has become a struggle.

That Thursday evening, I was riding my motorcycle to work when I was involved in an accident on Interstate 65 in Mobile, Alabama. Emergency crews took me to the hospital, where I underwent extensive testing. I'm extremely thankful I was wearing full protective riding gear, because I know things could have been much worse.

I suffered a serious injury to my right knee with a deep laceration, a possible fracture near my right tibia, and a right shoulder injury that limits my range of motion. I needed stitches, I'm currently using crutches and a leg immobilizer, and even something as simple as taking a shower has shown me how far I still have to go.

Before the accident, I worked nights in armed security for Walden Security, helping protect property for a power company. I've been there for about a year and a half, and I'm incredibly grateful for how supportive my company and coworkers have been. My job is still waiting for me, but I cannot return until an orthopedic specialist clears me.

I've always been the first person to help and the last person to ask for help, so starting this campaign isn't easy.

Funds raised will help with my medical and everyday living expenses while I recover and work toward getting back to the job I love.

If you're able to donate or share my story, I would be incredibly grateful.
