‘Luby Recovery Fund’ Supports Northport Family Facing Multiple Hardships

The Northport community has come together to raise money for a Northport family facing multiple hardships at once.

Samuel Luby, 46, of Northport, is in critical condition after his vehicle struck a tree at a notorious turn on Fort Salonga Road Thursday morning.

Luby, a husband and a father, broke many bones, requiring him to undergo multiple surgeries. Due to Samuel’s extended hospital stay, he will be out of work for a long period of time.

Just weeks ago, Samuel Luby’s wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and she will also be out of work once she begins cancer treatment in early September.

As the Luby family is facing several battles, the Northport community has stepped in to raise donations for the family through the “Luby Recovery Fund.”

The GoFundMe was created by friends of the Luby family to cover medical and living expenses. As of Monday, the page has exceeded its goal by raising nearly $78,000. More than 650 people have donated in three days.
