Here is Ayden's Story:
A Journey of Strength and Healing
On Friday, June 25, 2025, 19-year-old Ayden’s life changed in an instant. A devastating accident left him with severe burns covering the right side of his body and his left hand and leg. The extent of his injuries required him to be life-flighted to the Hennepin County Medical Center Burn Unit, where he is now receiving intensive, specialized care.
The trauma Ayden has endured is unimaginable. Burn injuries are among the most painful and complex to treat, often requiring multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and months—if not years—of rehabilitation. Beyond the physical pain, the emotional and psychological toll of such an event is profound, not only for Ayden but for his entire family.
This sudden medical emergency has placed an overwhelming financial strain on Ayden’s loved ones. The costs of hospital care, ongoing treatment, travel to and from the burn unit, and time away from work are mounting quickly. Every dollar raised will go directly toward easing this burden—helping cover medical bills, transportation, and lost wages during Ayden’s long road to recovery.
Your support—whether through a donation or simply by sharing this fundraiser—will make a meaningful difference. It’s a way to stand beside Ayden and his family, to show them they are not alone in this fight. Thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and for being part of Ayden’s healing journey.
