Dan Single Wants You To Help Cover His $250K Medical Bills After 35M Fall

Ksubi founder Dan Single has launched a GoFundMe page to help with the costs surrounding his lengthy recovery after falling from a Paris balcony in March.

He’s asking for $250,000 to help cover hospital bills, rehab bills, early flights home, being unable to work over the next few months and “all the incidentals the family is covering at the moment”, writing that he was inspired to start the GoFundMe at a friend’s suggestion.

“YES! Everything you have heard is true,” he wrote, speaking publicly for the first time since the accident. “I fell 3 floors (35metres) out of my hotel room in Paris, did a somersault and landed on my feet which saved my spine and my brain (a miracle says the doctor, 1 in 100 million chance).”

“I did however shatter every bone from my feet to my hips and pelvis. I have been in a coma for two weeks, had 8 operations and am covered in pins and bolts in my bones. I cannot use my legs for another month or two so will be in a rehab centre in Paris recovering.”

The GoFundMe is called ‘Shit Got Real‘, which seems wildly appropriate. Nothing as real as the bones you just shattered, hey.

“It all sounds awful but the guy writing this mail has been given a second lease at life and is SO grateful, inspired and excited to be back soon,” Dan continued. “I am also lucky to have my family here by side, wife, mother, brother and at least a visitor a day.”

“Overwhelmed at the messages of love and support. I have been reached out to, by friends all over the world, it seems everyone wants to help in some way or another. There is a fundraising dinner in Sydney in early May, obviously you will not all be able to make it. SO… Somebody suggested this ! Gofundme ! Help fund the hospital bill, rehab bill, early flights home, being unable to make bread and work over the next months and all the incidentals the family is covering at the moment.”

So far, he’s raised just $370 of his $250,000 goal. And uh – not all of them are leaving nice comments.
