My Story
While much of my recent life has been shaped by a single day in March 2020—when my brother broke his neck, becoming a quadriplegic—the basis for how I’ve been able to handle the challenges of that event has been a constant theme throughout my life of community, service, and resilience.
Since my brother’s accident which enabled me to develop my skills in web design and computer science: developing his website HardieKressler.com and my own, I have been working as a WordPress designer for my company siteWise Designs.
I attend the Northeastern University in Boston, MA studying Computer Science and Business Administration…
Consider Donating
In March of 2020, at age 17, as the lockdown began, my brother Hardie was mountain biking, taking all usual safety precautions, including wearing a helmet, when his bike lost traction, and he hit a tree head-first.
When he hit the tree, it was later determined he broke his neck at the C4, C5, and C6 vertebrae, leaving him paralyzed. Today Hardie goes to physical therapy multiple times a week to work to regain motor function.
So far, he has recovered quite a bit but still has a long way to go. Please consider donating to assist our family in paying for his medical costs and physical therapy.
