Life took a sudden, unexpected and tragic turn for Ocean City’s Lukens-Martinez family last July when Teudy Martinez suffered a traumatic injury when he was swimming, and leaving him a quadriplegic.
If the accident weren’t devastating enough it its own right, it occurred just two weeks before the birth of Teudy and wife Halley’s second child.
Needless to say, treatment, rehabilitation and the everyday challenges of life have been very difficult for the young family.
Green Tech Energy Services, the firm where Teudy worked as an electrician is sponsoring “Teudy’s Road to Recovery,” will be an event night of fun food and fellowship for the benefit of the family. It takes place Saturday March 25
th from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Bellmawr Fire Hall, 29 Lewis Avenue, Bellmawr, Camden County.
Teudy has made steady progress in his recovery but still has a long road ahead. Much additional treatment and equipment is needed.
