Hope for Pedro

Late on the night of October 4th, 2019, our beloved Pedro Ventura was outside of a nightclub in Asheville, North Carolina when a stranger fired many gunshots into the crowd. He was visiting town from Los Angeles for one night for a wedding, but the course of his life was changed forever. Despite the presence of up to 300 people in the street, Pedro was the only person hit in the gunfire, and his injuries are severe. The bullet entered his body at the back of his neck and ended up in his C4 vertebra, shattering parts of his spine and severing his spinal cord, initially leaving him paralyzed from the neck down and unable to breathe
