News 5 previously reported that Matthew Delaney was on the phone outside his home when he was hit by gunfire. According to Delaney's family, he ran to the back of the house, noticed he was bleeding and drove himself down the road where he met a friend who took him to the hospital.
'The bullet entered through the upper end of his jaw on the left side and went down through his neck and shoulder,' Delaney's brother, James Delaney, told News 5. Mobile police said Delaney was not the intended target.
According to the GoFundMe page, Delaney's doctors are calling his survival 'nothing short of a miracle,' noting that the bullet, which traveled down his neck and exited through his shoulder, missed major arteries.
Despite that, doctors said the injury is serious and will require extensive medical treatment and recovery.
'(Doctors) did set a clear expectation that his recovery will require additional surgeries, therapy and rehab,' the fundraiser said.
Delaney was working at a local ship agency, working with the Port of Mobile, according to his family, but they say many people will know him from previous employment.
'Many of you may know him from his long-time roles at Azalea Seafood and TP Crockmiers, where his warm personality and dedication left a lasting mark,' the GoFundMe page said.
Funds from the GoFundMe will pay for medical expenses, mental health support, physical therapy and living expenses during his recovery, 'allowing Matthew to focus on healing and regaining stability,' the page said.
'Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference,' family said on the page. 'It's our turn to lift him up. Together, we can show him he's not alone in this fight.'
The fundraising goal is $40,000.
UPDATE: No foul play suspected in death of woman at Pensacola Publix

Dem Golden Boy Abrego Garcia Returns

Well the Democrats got their wish, their martyr Kilmar Abrego Garcia returned to the US to face charges. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. The Democrats' golden boy Kilmar Abrego Garcia was brought back to the US from his home country of El Salvador to face charges including human trafficking here in Tennessee. In an interview with NBC News, President Trump said it wasn't his decision to bring Abrego Garcia back to the US but that the DOJ decided to do it that way and that's fine. I can't help but think what a giant waste of US taxpayers dollars it was to fly him all the way back here, go through the rigamarole of criminal charges, pay for his room and board, all to send him right back to his home country of El Salvador. But THIS is what the Democrats want. They'll do anything to keep their illegal aliens in your community and they'll waste your hard earned money to do it and stretch out the process as long as possible. This is the hill they're willing to die on and this is the man they're willing to defend till the end. A man who was here illegally for years, has credible allegations of gang affiliation, protective orders from his wife, and actual footage of his alleged human trafficking. Ladies and gentlemen, the Democrat Party is for they/them and Abrego Garcia, not for you! I'm Tomi Lahren and you watch my show 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' at Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
