A humble plea...
(Posting with written permission to do so from MeetFighter's administrative team)
Preston, a member of the MeetFighters community (for 3 years with 73 matches) was driving to WrestleFest 2024 in New York City via Trenton New Jersey, when a car sideswiped him, rolling his car into a ditch and giving him head trauma.
The trauma caused a seizure, and he was hospitalized in ICU for a couple of days during the actual WrestleFest event. While he's out of the hospital now, he'll be out of work for at least three months while he has follow-up visits with doctors.
I, HispanicPanic79, reached out to Preston to ask if he needed anything. He indicated that he could use help to afford groceries and pay his phone bill until he returns to work. Thankfully, he has medical insurance to help cover his health needs.

Preston's many MF recommendations show that his past opponents consider him an outstanding wrestler — one who is easygoing, respectful, skilled, and spirited. He is also active in his local community and has volunteered with Big Brother Big Sisters of America.
Any support you can provide to help him deal with this challenging period (and to show him the strength and support of the MeetFighters community) would be greatly appreciated.

3/21/2024 1:41 AMPreston... I just happened upon this and want to add my well wishes. One of the most endearing things about the guys who meet here
for wrestling is how incredible they are as men. REAL men! Caring, sensitive and not afraid to show the world what a REAL man is. Sure
we can rough and tumble and wrestle around but just look at what happens when a fellow fighter needs support. I have just said the first
of what will be my many prayers for you to recover quickly and get back OFF your feet! Wrestle-assured you are not alone.
