Rally Around Patrick
One year ago, Patrick’s life changed in an instant.
While working as a lineman, Patrick suffered a devastating accident that led to cardiac arrest, leaving him with an anoxic brain injury. Since that day, he has been fighting the hardest battle of his life. Through it all, he has remained surrounded by the unwavering love of his beautiful wife, their child, and an incredible community that believes in his recovery.
Although the road ahead is long, Patrick is still in a critical window where intensive rehabilitation can make a meaningful difference. Every gain matters, and every opportunity to help his brain heal is worth pursuing.
Unfortunately, many of the most promising therapies are not covered by insurance. The family is exploring treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which costs approximately $14,500 for a two-month protocol, stem cell therapy, which ranges from $17,500 to $35,000 depending on the clinic, and intensive physical and occupational therapy programs that typically cost between $10,000 and $20,000. These therapies represent hope, but they also come with an overwhelming financial burden.
Our goal is to remove as many barriers as possible so Patrick can focus on what matters most: healing, regaining independence, and creating more memories with the family who loves him so deeply.
This SupportNow page will also serve as Patrick’s central place for updates throughout his recovery. We’ll share his progress, celebrate milestones, communicate prayer requests, and post opportunities to help through the Lend a Hand calendar, including meals, errands, and other practical needs as they arise.
Recovery from a brain injury truly takes a village, and we want all of you to be part of Patrick’s journey.
