Asking for a friend 🐈

I read DU every day but I rarely post.
I'm posting today to try to help a friend.
He has a YouTube page of funny videos of his cats. (@ninerlives)

Recently, while riding his motorcycle, he was struck from behind by a three-time DWI offender. He was dragged 1300 feet and as a result has had his left leg amputated. Other details are on his GoFundMe page -

Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Thank you for reading this 😻

Any guy that is that loving to his cats gets major bonus points straight out of the gate.

What a horrific accident. His life is forever changed and he is so very young. I hope his mother is getting some respite care for herself as well. This will be a brutally exhausting, seismic shift in all their lives before they fully rebuild and find their new normal. She must care for herself, too.
