MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — The family of a man shot outside his home on Foreman Circle on May 15 has started a GoFundMe to raise money for his medical expenses and care after he comes home from the hospital.

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
To donate, leave words of encouragement or keep up with Delaney's progress, go to the GoFundMe page.

A new day of immigration protests is starting in Los Angeles

Angelenos are demanding the release of people detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), planning to gather in downtown Los Angeles for another day of protests following immigration raids throughout the region — but this time, against the backdrop of a federal National Guard deployment. Immigrant rights groups and unions plan to gather for one of the major actions anticipated in LA today, coinciding with the scheduled arraignment of the prominent labor leader David Huerta who was arrested on Friday. Beyond Huerta, folks are turning out to support coworkers and loved ones. 'These raids are cruel, disruptive, and designed to terrorize immigrant communities. They tear families apart,' the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) said in a statement the day Huerta was arrested. Huerta is President of SEIU California and was detained while 'conducting legal observation of ICE activity in his community,' according to AFL-CIO union leaders. SEIU says Huerta was 'beaten and dragged away.' ICE didn't immediately respond to a request for response from The Verge. At least 118 people were arrested in ICE operations last week, according to a Department of Homeland Security press release on Saturday. Protests have emerged across Los Angeles to stop ICE from detaining community members as part of the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. President Trump called protesters 'troublemakers and insurrectionists' on Truth Social. On Saturday night, he ordered the National Guard to deploy and crack down on protests against the wishes of Governor Gavin Newsom — marking the first time a president has ordered troops without a governor's assent since 1965. Mayor Karen Bass called the move 'a chaotic escalation' and Newsom said it was 'purposefully inflammatory and [would] only escalate tensions.' Over the weekend, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also threatened to deploy Marines. Demonstrations across the city on Saturday 'remained peaceful,' the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said in a statement that night. But by late Sunday, hours after National Guard troops arrived, clashes escalated as more authorities and protesters gathered. The LAPD authorized the use of 'less lethal munitions' and an Australian reporter was caught on camera being shot by a rubber bullet. A British photojournalist said he was undergoing emergency surgery after being hit by what he believes was a non-lethal round. Waymo suspended its ride services after some of its tagged-up vehicles were set ablaze. LAPD spokesperson Drake Madison says that 42 people have been arrested so far, as of a Monday morning email to The Verge. An interfaith prayer vigil planned for Sunday night was canceled by organizers 'out of an abundance of caution.' A declaration of 'unlawful assembly' was in place overnight for downtown Los Angeles. But 'the tactical alert has been lifted,' Madison said in another email Monday morning.

This has caused business disruptions including affecting the firm's ability to fulfill and distribute customer orders, the filing said. United Natural Foods also has notified law enforcement about the unauthorized activity, the filing said.
