Willie Meyers' Medical Expenses

This campaign was started as an effort to help our fellow brother-in-arms, Willie Meyers, AKA "Creasy Bear", who was severely and almost fatally injured while working for the US Embassy Security Detail in Israel. Willie worked on the State Department's Diplomatic Security Contract in Iraq, Afghanistan, and most recently Israel as a medic for almost ten years. Prior to that he was a flight medic, swat medic, and paramedic for many years.

The brief synopsis of his injuries are a central core spinal contusion, two crushed vertebrae, a broken neck, and a torn rotator cuff. The torn rotator cuff happened during rescue efforts to save Willie. He was medically evacuated from Israel, to Germany, and then on to the US, finally ending up in Shepard Spinal Rehab Center in Atlanta, Georgia to begin what is sure to be a very long rehab process. He's already been through one surgery, with more to follow. He is unable to move at all below the neck, and has to use a stylus in his mouth to answer his phone, call for assistance, or respond to emails. He is a fighter and is making gains daily but he needs 24x7 care, and will for some time. The doctors are saying it is too early to know what recovery he will be able to make.

Willie is responsible for saving countless people both here in the US and overseas... now its our turn to help him!

Please follow Willie's progress on the fan page we created for him, keep up on updates with fundraising efforts, as well as post words of encouragement for him.  Here's the link:
