Ex-NYPD Officer Faces Medical Crisis in Colombia During Charity Work
Gregory Fink, a former NYPD officer from Long Island, is facing a severe medical crisis while in Cartagena, Colombia. Fink, who has dedicated his life to youth sports and charity work, suffered a severe aneurysm in his right vertebral artery, a critical pathway supplying blood to the brain and spine. This occurred while he was abroad providing sports equipment and opportunities to underprivileged communities. Fink, who runs the South Fork United Foundation, a youth soccer program based in the Hamptons, underwent successful surgery in late March. However, he faces ongoing complications and significant medical expenses. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help cover these costs, raising over $27,000 towards a $50,000 goal, with contributions mainly from Long Island parents whose children have been positively impacted by Fink's work.
