Dear Friends, Family, and Community Members,
Our dear brother, Andrew Ernest, needs your support. On September 30th, Andrew suffered severe head trauma and was med-flighted to a level one trauma center. He is currently receiving treatment in a neurological critical care unit. Earlier this week, he underwent decompressive craniectomy surgery to remove a large blood clot and reduce brain swelling. The surgery was successful, but he remains in critical condition and is at risk of several complications. We are grateful he is alive and receiving exceptional care.
For Andrew, the road ahead will be long and arduous. He will require tremendous, unwavering support—the kind of support he provides to others without hesitation or conditions. Those lucky enough to know him will tell you he has a heart of gold and would walk to the ends of the earth to help you. Love emanates from him and is present in every bear hug given to his nieces, nephew, godson, and friends’ children. He advocates for rescue dogs and is happiest cuddled up with his own. He is a dedicated son, loving brother, proud uncle, and loyal friend. He is an established engineering technician in the semiconductor industry, and his colleagues respect him deeply. He’s a self-taught auto mechanic who generously repairs the vehicles of friends and family and can troubleshoot any mechanical issue. The bottom line is that he is a good guy who needs your support.
We hope that with time, continued medical care, and support, he will return to giving bear hugs, caring for his beloved dogs, and turning wrenches. With your support, this fund will help offset the significant medical costs and financial burdens Andrew will face on his road to recovery. We appreciate any financial contribution made; no amount is too small. Please also consider supporting Andrew by sharing this campaign with friends, family, and on social networks. Let’s show up for Andrew in the way he would for others.
We are humbled and immensely grateful for every prayer and every ounce of love and positivity. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Sincerely,
The Family of Andrew Ernest
