My name is Greg Hillensbeck, 

I'm posting this fundraiser in an effort to help the family of my nephew Brock Hillensbeck.

On Sunday April 14, 2013 Brock had a fall at church. He was taken to the ER with what they thought was a mild concussion, but it turned out to be much worse. He had a pretty severe brain injury. He has trauma to his carotid artery which caused blood clots. One of these clots traveled to the left side of his brain and caused him to have a stroke and there is permanent damage. He has lost the function of the right side of his body and is no longer able to sit, stand, walk, or talk. On Tuesday April 16th, he had to have emergency surgery to alleviate the swelling in his head and prevent further damage. The pressure and swelling seem to have stabilized and though it is only the beginning, we hope he will soon be able to start his recovery process. 

Once Brock is out of the Pediatric ICU there will be many months of therapy both at the hospital and at home. Once Brock is able to go home, Shonda (his mother) will stay at home with him to continue helping him through his recovery.

No one knows how long Brock will have to stay in the hospital or how much therapy he will have to undergo. This fundraiser is set up to assist in current and future medical expenses as well as any other costs associated with this life changing event. 

The goal is set high, but small donations add up. With the reach of the internet and social media the goal can be met and surpassed. Not everyone can contribute, but that doesn’t mean they can’t help. Please share this on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Just a mention of this fundraiser to someone keeps it going and helps the family in this difficult time.

Our family has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from people all over the world. The constant prayer by so many has been amazing. We ask for your continued prayer and support for Brock and his family as well as the Doctors and team of professionals that will be working with him along the way.

Prayers sent his way.  This shows you how fragile our lives really are - best wishes to he and his family.  It may be a blessing he is so young - the body seems to heal faster a lot of times
