In 2019, Brian’s health took a severe turn when he stepped on a nail while walking his dog, leading to a deep foot ulcer exacerbated by his diabetes and neuropathy. Despite initial self-care efforts, the wound worsened, requiring numerous medical visits and eventual surgery. His health issues continued into 2020 with a neck fusion surgery that initially improved his condition but was followed by new setbacks.
In 2023, Brian was at a bonfire at his brother’s home which led to a third-degree burn on his left ankle due to his lack of sensation from neuropathy. The burn was severe, almost reaching the bone, and required hospitalization along with months of recovery, during which he couldn’t work. Earlier this year, Brian faced another health crisis while working as a delivery driver, resulting in a critical episode that led to job loss and financial strain. This was compounded by a severe foot injury requiring reconstruction surgery. Now, with a lengthy recovery ahead and financial pressures mounting, including potential car repossession and medical bills, Brian is reaching out to the community for support. Brian resides in Fargo, ND.

When you give online to this fundraiser, your gift goes directly to the family, and Lend A Hand Up provides a 20% financial boost to increase your giving value. The Lend A Hand Up boost applies solely to online gifts processed through this giving site. Should you wish to make a gift by cash or check, your generosity should be directed to the family or their fund at Bank Forward, as Lend A Hand Up does not process cash or check gifts for families.
