  1. Some of you are really f*cking dense. A girl named Amber made the GoFundMe on behalf of Henry. It says so directly on the GoFundMe page. If you go to Henry’s IG, it’s not hard to figure out who Amber is. She made the GoFundMe for him, knowing he wouldn’t do it for himself. Henry was pleasantly surprised that someone would make that for him and also that people would then start making donations to help out. He has now added the link to his bio once Amber and other friends who donated surprised him with it. The next question is going to be “how do I know Henry runs his own IG page?”… I’ve known Henry since college and we exchange DM’s frequently. I also know many other pro athletes through going to UT and through my career working in sports and unless you are LeBron James or a major major brand sponsored athlete, you aren’t having other people run your Instagram account.
  2. You think that Henry Melton has someone else run his Instagram page? For someone who claims to run Instagram pages for clients, you don’t seem to know much about athletes and Instagram.
  3. Your comment was that he looked great for someone who just underwent a major heart surgery with 50% mortality rate. I was just curious if you needed to see him at his worst, or if your justification for not giving money was that “he looks fine”. It’s your money and you can choose to give or not give. It’s not like someone is holding a gun to your head. I don’t understand the anger of some people. If it’s not for you, just ignore it.
  4. I mean you can literally go to his Instagram and he has the GoFundMe link in his bio. Do you think he’s trying to scam people via GoFundMe by undergoing an open heart surgery? Make it make sense.
  5. I hope some day you’re able to forgive whoever hurt you.
  6. How does he look here?
  7. I am a close friend of Henry's and hopefully I can clear up some of the misconceptions. First off, this isn't any type of GoFundMe scam. Henry does have health insurance, but his insurance isn't great. It's not employer provided, he's paying out of pocket and having been a relatively healthy guy, he didn't opt to get the best insurance possible. Even with insurance, this was a major event and his bills are astronomical. I can't say I know every single detail, but I believe he had to be airlifted via helicopter to a trauma hospital in downtown Chicago amongst several other complications that required extra care. I don't exactly know how all of that factors into what is covered by his insurance and what isn't at this point, but he spent 3 weeks in ICU and I don't believe the whole thing simply comes down to meeting a deductible and then everything else being covered. Right now, he's unable to walk and will require on-going physical therapy. This will be a lifelong condition he is facing. He certainly isn't broke but having made $18m in career earnings, you can quickly deduct that down to less than half ($9m after taxes, agent fees, league fees, union fees, etc are taken out). And then factor he hasn't even been in the league for almost 10 years now. He lives a bit better than your 6-figure tech bro, but anyone would be set back by this major life threatening and long term medical setback. He has a very long journey ahead. Also note that Henry did not ask for the GoFundMe to be setup. A friend of his made it on his behalf and is making sure he receives all the money, but it's not in Henry's character to ask for money. Having said that, it's a pleasant surprise as he will certainly need the money over time. If it's not for your taste or how you want to spend your money, all good! If you care to donate, it is definitely appreciated by him. Hopefully this puts some of the shit slinging and speculation to rest.
