On Tuesday June 17th, my best friend Iz’s dad, Bret DeGayner, was in a devastating motorcycle accident while in Florida. He is currently in critical condition at Halifax Hospital in Daytona Beach, where he underwent emergency surgery to relieve a traumatic brain bleed. Bret remains in a medically induced coma as doctors monitor swelling and assess the extent of his injuries, which include multiple fractures and internal trauma.
As the DeGayner family faces this unimaginable situation, they are doing everything they can to be by Bret’s side. His oldest daughter, Emme, flew to Florida immediately and is navigating travel, lodging, and car rental expenses while also being away from her own children, who are staying with her mother, Tammy. Bret’s other daughters, Iz and Lilia, are waiting for updates before they travel as well. These unexpected and urgent costs are creating a significant financial strain on the family.
I’m organizing this fundraiser to help ease some of that burden. Every donation, big or small, will help cover travel, lodging, and other expenses so the family can focus fully on being with Bret during this critical time.
Thank you so much for your love, prayers, and support for the DeGayners.
