I apologize, I had to start a new account and forgot my old username and password. I cannot figure out how to post the entire message like I see others do.

UPDATE: DU MEMBER SINCE THE AGE OF 14 INVOLVED IN TRAGIC CAR ACCIDENT NEEDS HELP 😢
 
WHILE A POST LIKE THIS ALREADY EXIST I WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME TO POST IN DETAIL ABOUT MY BROTHER COREY, WHO SINCE THE AGE OF 14 HAS BEEN AN AVID 'DU' JUNKIE, ALWAYS REFERRING TO YOU AS HIS "DU FAMILY"

Corey Baker is a deeply loved brother, uncle, friend and respected member of the community. Anyone who knows him understands his passion for giving back to those in need. Corey is a proud Democrat and a dedicated member of the website DemocraticUnderground.com since the age of 14. In addition to his support of the Democratic Party, he has a dedicated career as a Security Officer.

Corey is also attending college pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice. Mr Baker also spends his free time volunteering for the Habitat 4 Humanity, volunteering at homeless shelters and volunteering at our local VA Medical Center by providing prayers and counseling to our nations Veterans. He is very active in politics beginning at the age of 10 years old when he witnessed the theft of the 2000 Election. From that point on Corey became hooked on politics and donated his allowances to the Democratic Party & Democratic candidates.

Corey grew up fast on 9/11 as a 7th grade student. I remember specifically him telling me that fateful day that "elections have consequences, and this, he said is a consequence of the 2000 election"

From that day on he was extremely active in politics. He was the youngest member in the history of our county Democratic party. He was strongly opposed to the Iraq war at a time especially in our school when it was extremely unpopular to be against the war, not to mention being a openly proud Liberal Democrat.

As the 2004 election approached & during the Democratic primary, Corey absolutely fell in love with John Kerry. I've never saw my brother more passionate about anyone or any cause than electing John Kerry President! I remember fondly the day my father took him to a John Kerry campaign rally, he still has the newspaper article hanging above his bed, October 19, 2004 Dayton Daily News paper. He talks about it frequently he was only feet from his hero John Kerry & John Glenn was there. John Kerry is his hero & his idol to this day, just as my brother is my hero because he is a fighter, just like John Kerry...😢

On Saturday, February 18, 2017 around 11:45 pm Corey was on his home from his Security job in Dayton, Ohio, when he was involved in a serious car accident.

Initial reports indicate that Corey was at a stop light with a green arrow and proceeded to turn left when he was t-boned by a reckless driver who failed to stop for the red light.

Corey is currently in critical but stable condition after being taken by Careflight helicopter to a level 1 trauma center. His injuries include: a fractured skull, fractured hip, bleeding in the brain (update: the bleeding in the brain has stopped), loss of mobility in his left arm (update: mobility is there, but limited), among other serious issues.

As you can imagine this accident has and will continue to have a serious detrimental impact on the finances of the entire Baker family. His parents are going to be missing work to be with him even though they have no savings and so many utility bills coming up for disconnect this week as well as rent coming up to be paid Saturday & it's unclear when or if Corey will be able to ever return ttowork which his income helped pay for his College.

So my friends, perfect strangers, whomever you may be I have turned to this site as a last resort. Due to this unforeseen accident my family is on the brink of losing everything!!! So from the bottom of my heart I ask that you contribute any amount you can afford to help us in this time of great need...

THANK YOU & GOD BLESS

************SAD UPDATE***************

UNFORTUNATELY COREY'S CONDITION HAS WORSENED... 😢 😢 😢

It is with a heavy heart that I announce to you that my brother Corey's condition has taken a turn for the worse.

He was transported to University Hospital in Columbus, Ohio which has in itself caused extreme financial peril for our family. Corey was being treated at a hospital in Dayton, Ohio which was only 45 minutes from his family home.

Now that he is being treated at University Hospital in Columbus financially we are devastated. Columbus is about 3 hours from our home and we cannot afford to stay in a hotel nor can we afford the 6 hour commute (there & back).

My family especially my parents are devastated to say the least. They live paycheck to paycheck and want to be by his side 24/7 but financial limitations are about to prevent that.

Please if you haven't contributed yet every dollar counts. My parents & my family are scared to death that if the worst were to happen to Corey we would not be able to be there to say goodbye do to financial restrictions...

The Baker family would like to thank all that have contributed & sent good vibes to our family during this the time of such heartache in our family.

Please spread the word to those who are financially able to contribute, your help is needed now more than ever.

That's it.

No mention of the other driver, how ironic it would be if it were an illegal alien. 

[Undies]

No mention of the mandated ObamaCare, and no mention of the "at fault" driver having medical insurance attached to the comprehensive collision coverage?  Between the two, financial difficulties should NOT be part of this equation.  Plus, any other expenses incurred can be documented and submitted to the auto insurance claim office.   No need to beg for help.

Okay, there's a thread on this already - seems as though some of the dummies are skeptical of this story:

40. I am not in position to donate but I would if I could

This place is an awesome community.

When I was teaching and needed funds to get blankets for my kids DU stepped up

When one of my students killed himself and the family couldn't even raise money to bury him DU stepped up

This last year when I almost lost everything due to illness...DU stepped up

it is not for us to nancy drew it out . If someone is hurting, we give-that is why we are a great community.

Funny how someone with less than 1000 posts is trying to make a scam from someone who has been here 10+ years

43. Tell me how Corey used his FB profile yesterday?

He's in ICU, right? After "Corey" was called out by another member of DU his posts on FB page suddenly disappeared! Hmmmm....

Use my account as bait then... Deflect from the BS scam that's happening to you member's right now on DU.

Eff it!

I'm done with this...

Well, at 2:22 a.m.--wherever in the world it was 2:22 a.m.; it wasn't that here yet--the primitive who originally posted this took it down.  But it's good for laughs to go to the thread anyway to read it, to see how it evolved.

Stupid primitives.

[YupItsMe]

Wow total moonbat from the age of 10.   Got a big boycrush on John Kerry.   Maybe they should ask John Kerry for money.  Oops sorry, I forgot.  Rich libs never part with a dime.

Yeah, that stretched the idea of political precocity beyond the limits of credibility, and even some DU-folks' credulity, apparently.
