Charles Medical/Financial

My name is Stephanie Kelley  and I am Charles Guimonds mother. I am starting this go fund me page to help my son while he has been taken out of work due to a very tragic boating accident. My son left on June 13,2017 with three of his friends one of these was his best friend to go on a fishing trip to square lake. Charles is the type of kid to always call home to notify us if he was not coming back home for the night. We are a very close family we always keep in contact so we all know where we are. Tuesday evening had rolled around his dad called me around 930pm to see if Charles had called us to let us know his where abouts and I told him no but this is very unlike Charles. At 330am Wednesday June 14,2017 his dad Jerry called me again I was asleep he said Mom if you hear your answering machine you need to call me as soon as possible Maine State Troopers are trying to locate Charles. I jumped up out of bed to call Jerry back. He said the Maine State Barricks were trying to locate Charles as they said someone had called in and told them they could not find these men. It indeed was Charles best friends girlfriend who drove my sons truck from Square Lake to Caribou PD to explain this sitauation to them so they would sent Maine State Wardens out to look at the lake to see if they were stranded on the other side because they got caught when the wind picked up. Wardens were on site around 5am on June 14th and approximately 530 am they found my son laying on the bank of the lower part of the lake. And a big thank you to Maine Wardens service for all the time and help you have given to our family and continue to do for the others involved. My son finally made contact with me around 8am and when he called I said its so nice to hear your voice. He had a hard time to talk. He says mom I'm they only one who made it back home our boat was capsized. My sons best friend gave him a life jacket and put it on securely tying it so it would not come off and he told my son what ever you do dont let go of this boat it will not sink. My son hung onto this boat for 14 hours fighting 5 ft waves throughout the night all by himself. They have located one of his friends but today makes day #8 have not located his other friend and his best friend who saved his life. Charles has been taken out of work because of rhabdomyosis,which is a very high amount of protein in his blood stream and cause his muscled to breakdown,and on top of this hes now been put on insulin to control his blood sugars. This whole thing that has taken place has also effected his kidneys. He has a truck payment and now most likely will need to buy insulin he has insurance but even with the insurance his cost is still going to run $150.00 per one he is currently been put onto 2 types of insulin to try to get this count down. He also is awaiting for short term disability to take effect but in the meantime his payments are due and he cant afford to loose his only means of transportation. We as a family dont ever ask for help but this is my boy and in this type of situation any donations would be greatly appreciated. I just thank god each and everyday my boy is still with us. Yes his medical condition is not good but in our eyes it could be so much worse. I want to thank everyone for even taking the time to read our story and even the smallest donations at this point would help him out.
