Good Samarita fights for his life

What we know:

Chris Grabrick's best friend says he is in the intensive care unit. John Zerwas went to the hospital to speak to Chris every day in the hope that it will help with his recovery.

“Actually, it destroys me because he is like a brother for me,” said Zerwas.

At the moment it is not known what caused the crash.

“We came to the other scene and checked them out and saw what was all. But it doesn't really show you much. Just show that he, you know, went down,” said Zerwas.

The way to recovery

What you say:

“The guy has a heart of the size of a watermelon. Do you know what I mean? How, he would give his shirt from his back, literally, I saw him,” said Zerwas.

Grabick suffered a hemorrhage, a cracked skull and a large hematoma on the forehead. He was sedated to support his recovery.

The husband and father of three founded hoodlum, a non -profit organization that helps others in need. It helps to get people back on their feet. This includes Christmas gifts for children when a parent is sick. Now he is the one in need.

His best friend Zer was a time when Chris gave someone money who could not buy food.

“Chris was really how, really? And he just pulls $ 100 out of his pocket and he goes, you know what? You go here. Have a good time,” said Zerwas.

“It brought tears to my eyes. This child was so happy to preserve something like this,” added Zerwas.

What you can do:

The non -profit hoodlum also had a car exhibition and a fundraiser for Chris on Saturday. They collected more than 1,000 US dollars for Chris and 8,000 US dollars for the non -profit organization. More than 1200 people appeared. You can follow Grabrick's situation on his Caringbridge page. A gofundme was also set up to support the family.
