Avid Wrestling fan and Teacher suffered 2 Strokes, organized by Summer Lorenzsonn

Hey, wrestlefriends, I know we're not on wreddit any more, but I received a notification via their discord that one of their long time moderators, Kentucky210, suffered two strokes on Dec 23rd. His parents are asking his fellow wredditors for help with current and future medical expenses. As of this posting, they have just passed $3k of their $25k goal.

The gofundme link above (and below for fediverse friends, just in case) has more details.

Update 2-23-2024: Fundraiser has stagnated at about $8.5k, so I'll be throwing in another $25. Please don't take this as me pressuring anyone to donate. See latest comment for update on Kentucky210's condition.

  • I'm just re-pinning this for a day because there's been a significant update:

    Well folks Austin is home!! We are so excited!! Austin still has a lot of rehabilitation to do. He has speech, physical and occupational therapy throughout the week and continues to work on exercises even when the therapists are not here. He speaks well but sometimes has trouble finding the right word for items. He can walk some with the use of a leg brace and a walker. He wears an arm brace on his right arm as there is still no movement with the arm or hand. He has adapted to using his left hand for eating, writing and scrolling through his phone. He does have feeling on the right side we just now need to get movement. He is able to do some daily activities on his own but still needs our help with a lot. He is in good spirits and is very much motivated. We as a family still need all the physical, emotional and financial support we can get. Bills just keep coming in. Austin now has to pay for his own medical insurance. He has follow up doctor's appointments in April. This is when he can find out when it might be possible for him return to work which will be difficult since he is still no where close to being able to drive. Austin knows about this GoFundMe account and he can't believe all the support that has already been given. We as his parents also really appreciate everything and continue to hope that everyone can donate or share this with all of your contacts to make sure that this can reach everyone possible. We still have a ways to go to get him back to 100% or at least as close as possible but we are all determined to get there. Thank you so much! We are hoping that Austin will reach out to some of you personally soon.
