Bobby Schat - Wildland Firefighter

We are friends and firefighters that work with Bobby Schat and are trying to raise money to assist him and his family during this very difficult time.

Bobby Schat is a fellow wildland firefighter that was involved in a car accident leaving work.  He has 2 broken vertebrate in his neck, and a blood clot in his brain. Bobby is looking at a very long recovery process.  He is a Father, Husband, Friend, and great firefighter that is experiencing a financial hardship.  

This money will assist his family with medical bills and transportation costs associated with getting his family to him in South Florida.  Bobby is in the ICU in North Fort Myers FL and is about 1.5 hours from his home in Everglades City.  His wife and son have been traveling back and forth to see him daily.  They have no other family here.  Bobby is from Texas and some of his family will be coming here to South Florida to assist with his care.

As we type this he is in emergency surgery to attempt to repair the C2 vertebrate in his neck.  

We as wildland firefighters only have limited options for help.  We would be extremely grateful for any help that the public or other WFF can provide to Bobby and his family.
