YouTube star begs for help and gives health update in devastating video: ‘I am in a dire situation’

YouTuber Brandon Buckingham, known for his documentaries and man-on-the-street style interviews, recently shared a shocking health revelation and is asking fans for financial help.

Over the weekend, the influencer took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the scary health update with his fans.

While lying in a hospital bed, looking weak, he shared a video of himself explaining how he woke up a few days prior, having no recollection of where he was and was completely deaf.

The 30-year-old was rushed to urgent care and ultimately the ICU, a breathless Buckingham explained in the social video, which now has almost 3.5 million views.

Doctors believe the star has acute systolic heart failure, kidney failure and liver failure, but the cause is unknown as of now. The point of the video was not only to update the public on what he was going through but also to ask for financial help for his 11-month-old baby and stay-at-home wife.

Not knowing what the future holds for him and whether he’ll survive or not, the YouTuber captioned the heartbreaking video: “I almost died and I need your help — I don’t like to ask you guys for anything but I am in a dire situation and this is my only option. I’ve created a GoFundMe to help my family and I in this trying time – god bless everyone who has sent kind messages I really appreciate it.”
