My name is Alex Olmedo III and I am the son of the wonderful man who this fundraising campaign is intended to help.
My Father was in Chicago for work on the 6th of June and was walking one of his best friend’s dogs in the evening before turning in for the night. During this walk he was hit by a car, who fled the scene, and suffered catastrophic injuries to his brain, lungs, and body.
As I write this he is, and has been since the incident, on life support and in a coma. There is no specific time table on this path of recovery as his body and mind will heal itself on its own time.
My dad has been, and will always be, one of the greatest men I have ever known. He is a pillar of our family and loved by his friends, family, and even strangers because he truly is just such a wonderful man, friend, uncle, brother, cousin, son, and father.
Any donation or form of assistance is appreciated beyond words. Any and all donations will go directly to helping with his journey back to health and help him as well as our family with things like medical expenses, rehabilitation for him, living assistance after he wakes up, and many more things as well.
Our absolute priority with this fundraiser is to ensure that my father’s ONLY focus when he wakes up is on getting better, healthier, and stronger by the day and nothing else.
If you can help, please do and understand your generosity means more to our family than you could ever possibly understand.
If you can’t, our family would appreciate your thoughts and prayers and we appreciate that immensely as well.
To those who are capable, sharing a positive memory you have with my father, new or old, would help bring some flashes of light and joy in an otherwise dark time for us. We would love and appreciate it.
To everyone, thank you for taking the time to read our story.
May God bless and be with you all.
Love,
The Olmedo Family
