Update on Jeremi’s Journey to Recovery: During the New Year’s Day attack, Jeremi was struck by a truck, breaking both legs and throwing him from the wheelchair he’s relied on since a 1999 accident left him paralyzed. After a week in the hospital, Jeremi was released from University Medical Center New Orleans and is now home. Thanks to the rapid response of our team and local partners — #SplitSecondFoundation, University Medical Center New Orleans, and #UnitedCajunNavy — Jeremi received the exact wheelchair he needed within 24 hours. In celebration of King’s Day and his journey home, Michael Williamson, our President and CEO, brought him a King Cake to remind him of our community’s love and care.
