Chris Mintz – UCC Shooting Survivor
Yesterday my cousin Chris Mintz was shot 7 times while trying to protect others from the gunman at Umpqua Community College.
He is a father, a veteran, a student, and now he’s a hero.
During the shooting both of his legs were broken and he is going to have to go through a ton of physical therapy.
While Chris is not the type of person to ask for it, he is going to need all of the help he can get while he recovers!
Myself and many family members have been swamped with requests for us to setup a gofundme page, so this is us fulfilling that request and we appreciate your concerns and assistance.
Thank You,
Family of Chris Mintz
Update –
GoFundMe is requesting further information from me in this campaign for Chris’s protection.
My name is Derek Bourgeois, and Chris is my cousin. We both grew up in Randleman, NC together.
The funds are going to be sent directly to Chris to assist with his recovery (medical bills, paying his bills while he out of work, childcare for his son, etc).
UPDATE: We would like to thank everyone for their continued support!
There seems to be a lot of concern in regards to a second campaign that was created by Mike Gurley titled “Help Chris Mintz Walk Again ;)”. This campaign was merged with ours at the request of Mike Gurley. Clicking on the campaign he started will redirect you to the campaign we started for Chris.
We would like to apologize for any confusion.
Thank you again,
Family of Chris Mintz
