Jerry’s Story

Site created on December 16, 2018

Jerry Jr. was in a horrible accident, burning nearly 80% of his body. He is working every day to remain stable. Please follow his journey and keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he works toward recovery.  If anyone wishes to make a monetary donation to help with medical bills and rehab, a GoFundMe has been been set up. You can find it here: https://www.gofundme.com/jerrytraczykjr  and also through this caring bridge site under "ways to help."  CaringBridge "Tributes" are donation to this site only, and not directly for Jerry. We appreciate all of the support shown thus far, and we're amazed at how many people have reached out in response to his accident. He is definitely loved by, and thought about, by many. Thank you!

Newest Update

Journal entry by Jerry Traczyk Sr.

Update on Jerry Jr, he is progressing amazingly well. He was released from HCMC in Minneapolis at the beginning of May, spent about 2 weeks in Madison doing PT and OT. He came home in the middle of May, did some PT and OT here in Hayward. He continues to see medical doctors here in Hayward but the Physical Therapy and the Occupational Therapy have stopped because his Insurance has decided not to pay for it any more. Every day brings a new challenge and he has been overcoming huge battles with his injuries and learning how to cope with them. A huge thank you to all his supporters, family and friends! Recovery continues and he really appreciates all the emotional support and financial donations since that is the only money he has at present. He is currently in between various treatments, on many different meds but coping quite well. We will continue to post updates as they become available. Thank You all so much!!
