My name is Greg Hillensbeck, 

I'm posting this fundraiser in an effort to help the family of my nephew Brock Hillensbeck.

On Sunday April 14, 2013 Brock had a fall at church. He was taken to the ER with what they thought was a mild concussion, but it turned out to be much worse. He had a pretty severe brain injury. He has trauma to his carotid artery which caused blood clots. One of these clots traveled to the left side of his brain and caused him to have a stroke and there is permanent damage. He has lost the function of the right side of his body and is no longer able to sit, stand, walk, or talk. On Tuesday April 16th, he had to have emergency surgery to alleviate the swelling in his head and prevent further damage. The pressure and swelling seem to have stabilized and though it is only the beginning, we hope he will soon be able to start his recovery process. 

Once Brock is out of the Pediatric ICU there will be many months of therapy both at the hospital and at home. Once Brock is able to go home, Shonda (his mother) will stay at home with him to continue helping him through his recovery.

No one knows how long Brock will have to stay in the hospital or how much therapy he will have to undergo. This fundraiser is set up to assist in current and future medical expenses as well as any other costs associated with this life changing event. 

The goal is set high, but small donations add up. With the reach of the internet and social media the goal can be met and surpassed. Not everyone can contribute, but that doesn’t mean they can’t help. Please share this on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Just a mention of this fundraiser to someone keeps it going and helps the family in this difficult time.

Our family has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from people all over the world. The constant prayer by so many has been amazing. We ask for your continued prayer and support for Brock and his family as well as the Doctors and team of professionals that will be working with him along the way.

You can follow along with Brock's journey here:

Prayers and words of encouragement in this difficult time are always welcome.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
