A tragic turn: Liberty Kitchen bartender falls off his bike, plunges 40 feetinto the Bayou
David Brown's story is something out of a nightmare: On Sept. 13, the Liberty Kitchen bartender was riding his bike along the White Oak Bayou bridge on Studemont Street when he fell over the short railing, plummeting 40 feet to the pavement below. He suffered multiple fractures and severe damage to his right arm.
Now, a month and a handful of surgeries later, Brown is out of the hospital, facing physical therapy, rehabilitation and hefty medical bills that he must pay out of pocket, since he's uninsured.

Liberty Kitchen and BRC GastroPub are hosting a silent auction to help cover Brown's bills. At Liberty, customers can put their name and their bid in the box for the Houston Texans vs. Buffalo Bills game on Nov. 4, a package that includes two suite tickets and a parking pass, plus free food and drinks.
Place your bid at BRC for a pair of field level tickets in Section 113 to the Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars game on Nov. 18, complete with tailgate passes.
Bidding ends at both locations at 11 p.m. on Friday, but those interested in helping out in other ways can donate to Brown via Paypal (email: dabrown1975@yahoo.com) or in person at Liberty Kitchen.
