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

Wisconsin receives a year of probation and $25,000 fine over impermissible calls to recruits
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin was placed on one year's probation and fined $25,000 on Thursday after an NCAA investigation showed that nine coaches and staffers made impermissible phone calls to recruits in 2023. Former defensive line coach Greg Scruggs and former director of player personnel Max Stienecker received one-year show cause orders. Scruggs is now an assistant defensive line coach for the San Francisco 49ers. Stienecker is Southern California's executive director of personnel. Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell and outside linebackers/special teams coach Matt Mitchell were prohibited from having recruiting communications with high school prospects from June 15-21. Fickell was determined to have violated head coach responsibility rules. A Division I Committee on Infractions hearing panel determined that a total of 139 impermissible phone calls were made to 48 prospects. Sixty of the calls lasted one minute or less. Wisconsin's compliance monitoring systems for phone communications uncovered the violations. The school then reported the violations in September 2023 and immediately self-imposed penalties while collaborating on the investigation with NCAA staff. All parties determined factors leading to the violations included a new staff's unfamiliarity with the school's compliance processes along with a misunderstanding of rules pertaining to recruiting calls. ___ AP college football: and
