We are writing on behalf of our friend and family member, Trevor Walberg. On Saturday, June 30th, Trevor was involved in an accident on his farm and was burned on over 20% of his body. He was transferred from the Redwood Area Hospital to Regions Hospital’s burn unit in St. Paul. He will be at regions for a minimum of four weeks before being able to go home to recover. Trevor is in need of skin grafting and had the first of two surgeries on August 4th where the surgeons removed the burned skin and put in Integra, which will give more elasticity and flexibility. He will then recover for 10-15 days before finally having the skin graft surgery.
This tragedy has affected his family both emotionally and financially. Trevor works seasonally for Redwood Falls Nursery and will not be able to return to work for the rest of the season. This accident also comes during a time where Dawn and Trevor do not have medical insurance. We are seeking donations to help with the cost of medical expenses. The amount of medical expenses will be far beyond what they can begin to imagine and we wanted to get something started to help alleviate some of the financial stress so they can focus on treatment and healing.
Your thoughts, prayers, and donations are sincerely appreciated.
