Quinton Aaron’s wife, Margarita Aaron, is asking for support after the Blind Side actor fell ill and was hospitalized.
Margarita began a GoFundMe campaign in January 2026, revealing her husband — who is most famous for portraying Michael Oher in the Sandra Bullock film — was “on life support due to a severe blood infection.”
“This has been sudden, frightening, and overwhelming for his loved ones. As he fights for his life, his family is facing an immense emotional and financial burden — including mounting medical-related expenses, ongoing living costs, and the uncertainty of how long this road to recovery may be,” the statement on the page continued.
After surpassing the $35,000 fundraising goal, Margarita shared an update on Quinton’s condition.
“Quinton has opened his eyes and has some feeling in his foot!” she wrote. “He is still on life support and going through tests. We are looking at quite a recovery time and will need a wheelchair when he is released while he goes through therapy to walk again. Thank you to all of you for your support and prayers.”
