As some of you may already know, last week, my good friend Luke Hill was hit by a truck walking home. He suffered a broken arm, ribs, and bleeding in his brain. Along with all of this, he has recovered from a craniotomy and had surgery on his arm to repair broken bones. It has been nothing short of a miracle to be where he is right now, today – already out of ICU, out of progressive care, and into a room that requires less supervision. He has held real conversations, recognizes people, and today, even went for a short walk. His brain injury is improving drastically and it is all because of the prayers, support, and God’s unfailing love and healing power.
Luke and his wife Charis have been friends of mine now for the past 7 years. They are some of the strongest, most brave people I know (even before all of this). I am astounded and so, so thankful for the community of Charlotte, all of his family and friends coming together in prayer and encouragement. Raising money, bringing meals to him and Charis, and actively doing anything and everything they can.
Speaking of which, here are some ways you can donate some money for medical expenses, and meals, and just show some love to the Hills!
• Donate to Luke’s medical expenses on GoFundMe here. We’ve almost hit our goal! SO amazing.
• Bring Luke a yummy meal on Take Them A Meal’s website by clicking here. (Last name: Hill, Password: 3570)
• You can take part in Green Light Tattoo‘s raffling tickets for 3 $150 tattoos.
• Purchase a t-shirt our friend Jonathan Taylor designed here.
• And don’t forget to come to Luke’s Benefit Show – Saturday, November 15th at Neighborhood Theatre – featuring some amazing local bands like Flagship, Warsong, Solis, Jeremiah Wilde, and more!
So, with all that being said, I wanted to dedicate today’s playlist to Luke! Starting off with one of his favourites, Thrice – In Exile. So enjoy, and keep on fighting Luke! We love you and are continuing to stand with you in prayer and faith during this time! :)
