Tega Cay Community Begins GoFundMe for Teacher Shot Working 2nd Job

TEGA CAY, S.C. (CN2 NEWS) – The City of Tega Cay and others are sharing a GoFundMe page for a Tega Cay  teacher who was apparently shot over winter break. According to the GoFundMe page teacher Brett Maksymik, a 5th grade teacher, was the victim of a random act of violence.

The post, created by one of his student’s families, explains while working a part-time Door Dash job, Maksymik was shot from behind during an attempted robbery and the bullet lodged into his abdomen.

Maksymik has had a number of surgeries and doctors expect him to make a full recovery. The GoFundMe has already raised more than $25,000 dollars and counting.
