Rich Romaines Prosthetic Leg
Rich Romaine's Prosthetic Leg
Rich Romaine is one of the best people I know. He is a leader,
an innovator, and a great friend. Among these titles he is also the father of 2
Boys; Kyle and Zachary. Rich is one of the hardest working people I know as
well. Straight out of high school he started doing carpentry and has made it
his life ever since. He has worked on houses in NJ for over 25 years. Rich
Romaine is also a prime example of what a hard working American Father is. In addition
he also coaches Hopatcong and Mt. Olive sports in his free time. "Helping children
and educating them is its own reward."
Unfortunately, 3 years ago Rich fell off of a 30ft roof
while working on the job. His L5 lumbar was pressure fractured and his right
heel was completely destroyed. When the x-rays were taken his heel looked like
dust. After 12 surgeries to try and save his foot and 3 years of agonizing "recovery",
the doctors recommended an amputation due to his limbs lack of improvement.
9.24.12 Rich would lose his right leg permanently. After 3
years of a draining recovery we are asking the public for any donations
possible to help this wonderful man "get back on his feet!"
The prosthetic is $40,000.00! Needless to say after not working for 3 years,
he's a little short on cash.
@ 20% cash to subsidies, he still needs $8,000.00 for a prosthetic
leg. Please help give back to a man that gives everything he can to everyone
else.
