TACKLES TOUGH QUESTIONS
Chris Dunn survived a diving accident in July 2018 that left him paralyzed, on a ventilator and mostly blind.
A father and
concrete worker, Dunn spent a year in a Maine ICU, fighting for his right to
rehab and get back to living his life.
“I’m pretty
sure they just wanted to kill me,” he said in a 2019 interview.
Dunn’s family was repeatedly told there was nothing more that could be done for
him and, even though he was in his early 40s, they should put him in hospice to
die.
After seven months of reaching out to hospitals and rehab centers all over the country and receiving nothing but rejections, Chris’ mom, Carol, filled out the online form to join United Spinal Association, writing: “We are desperate. We need help, please.”
