He Lost Both Of His Legs In A Subway Accident And His Brother Is Trying To Raise Money For His Medical Bills, Along With Prosthetics

New York, New York. David Cassidy is a 33-year-old man who moved from Monaghan in Ireland to New York back in 2013.
After David moved to America 9 years ago, he settled down in Woodside, a neighborhood of Queens.
Sadly, last month on December 5th, David got into a terrible accident on New York City’s subway, and he ended up losing both of his legs beneath his knees.
He was transported to Bellevue in Manhattan, where he still is currently, and since then he has had to go through multiple surgeries.
When David completes all of his surgeries, it’s going to take him quite some time to rehab from his injuries.
“Due to the nature of David’s injuries, his future medical expenses and prosthetics requirements are difficult to predict,” David’s brother Niall Cassidy wrote on a GoFundMe page.
“Prosthetics alone will cost tens of thousands per limb and typically need to be replaced every three to five years.”
“David’s medical insurance will only go so far towards meeting the lifelong costs associated with his injuries.”

When David is able to leave Bellevue, he will need nearly a lot of help as he adjusts to his new reality. Additionally, David will require a living situation that can accommodate his wheelchair.
Niall said that David’s loved ones affectionately call him Davvy, and his brother always goes out of his way to help anyone he knows that needs assistance.
“David’s resilience, positivity, and strength since the accident have been an inspiration to all of us,” Niall continued.
“He is eager to move forward, get back to work, and get on with his life. It will undoubtedly be a long road but, in time, the doctors in Bellevue expect him to regain a good level of mobility.”
“The support from everyone so far has been amazing and has made a very difficult time much easier to deal with.”
“With this GoFundMe page, we’re hoping to raise much-needed funds to go towards medical, ongoing care, and living costs, and to make it easier for David to get back to living a full and active life.”
