Mike Witt's Road to Recovery Fund

Formerly a self-employed tree/landscaping company owner, Mike has always been willing to work hard and helped many folks in our community before his accident.  It's been over 2 long, difficult, frustrating years since his traumatic injury on Jan. 5, 2015, and Mike still has not received financial assistance from Medicaid nor his VA pension so he's been forced to pay his caregivers from out-of-pocket.   (VA only provides 14 hours per week caregiver assistance.)  Mike has a caretaker 8-4pm Monday through Friday and no all-day care weekends.  (He uses the 14 hours provided by VA to have a caretaker get him up from bed those mornings and put him back in bed in the evenings.) Mike has a very small family (2 teenage daughters and a sister who lives in West Virginia). 

He sold his business equipment to be able to buy a home which is easily accessible for his wheelchair. Through previous financial assistance from our community and friends, Mike has been able to exist.  However, those funds are depleted and Mike is enduring extreme financial hardship. Now he is being forced to sell personal items.  As a proud Marine vet, he's embarrassed to ask for financial help, but so very grateful & appreciative to all of those people and businesses who have contributed to his well-being whether financially, through help with vehicle maintenance, home repairs, friendship, prayers and care of his much loved dog, Laika.  As a quadriplegic, those every day, routine things most of us take for granted are huge challenges or obstacles for Mike.  Please help Mike, a Marine vet, rebuild hope for a better life and attain his maximum potential!
