Please Help Marc - Hit & Run in his Wheelchair

Donation protected
My uncle, Marc Giolli, was seriously injured in a hit and run accident while crossing the street in his wheelchair. He suffers from spina bifida and is a paraplegic. As you can imagine, his daily life is already challenging. 

We finally are having nice weather here in Chicago and he took a ride in his wheelchair. While crossing the street, he was struck by a car and the person fled the scene. Luckily, he was caught about an hour later and taken in by police. My uncle is now hospitalized and they are trying to get him stable.

He was left with a broken pelvis and knee, shattered ribs and a punctured lung, and a deep head wound with internal brain bleeding.  Please send your best wishes, prayers, and good vibes to my uncle and our family. We will be faced with numerous hospital bills and after he is released, he will be staying in a rehabilitation center until he is in good health.

He is such a caring person and always putting others before himself. Not to mention, he is also the biggest animal lover. His heart is so big and he brings so much joy to our family. This will be a long road, as my uncle is also an amputee so recovery and adjusting back to daily life will be a challenge to say the least. Any little bit will help us through this horrible time and anything is appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for all of your support!
