Help Trevor walk again

Donation protected
Trevor Claar is no average 18 year-old. Trevor’s entire childhood has been nothing but full speed. He has always been a go getter. Trevor has always been quite the athlete from football, wakeboarding, snowboarding, basketball, gym rat, you name it he’s done it. Trevor attended Menchville High School of Newport New, Virginia and later graduated from a military school. He planned on joining the United States Army September 2016. After graduation Trevor went to celebrate with his best friends in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, continuing a tradition that has preceded him for many years. Unfortunately, the life that Trevor had always known and lived ended in an instant. He dove into a crashing wave and hit an unknown sandbar headfirst. Immediately Trevor went completely limp and his friends held him above water until the lifeguards were able to rescue him. From there Trev was airlifted by Nightengale to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia. During the transport medics called Jessica Claar, Trevor’s mom. Trevor was awake and calm and told his mother how much he loved her. Shortly after arriving to the hospital it was found that Trevor had broken his neck and crushed his spine, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down including his arms. Trevor went into an extensive surgery on his neck almost immediately. He was cut open on the front and back of the neck, the doctors removed the crushed bones and replaced them with pipes and screws. As of now the only thing that can be done for Trevor’s spine is rehabilitation and physical therapy. The prognosis is grim; the doctors do not think Trevor will ever walk again. This is going to be a long road to recover and he will need endless medical treatment. Trevor needs the best care possible to maximize his recovery. This is where you guys come in, the donations will ease financial stress on the family so they can focus directly on Trevor and his recovery. The donations will go toward all medical expenses, as these expenses are quickly adding up. If you have met the Claar family, then you know how kind hearted they are. If you cannot donate, prayers and shares go a long way. Pray for a miracle. Thank you all for taking the time to read Trevor’s story. #TrevItUp
