Jeffrey Lucas & Family Fund
Donation protected
Hello All,
Last Saturday, to the shock of everyone who knows him, Jeff Lucas was struck by a terrible accident. A failed deck railing collapsed, and after falling 15 ft, he landed on his back. A T8-T9 spinal fracture occurred, leaving Jeff with no feeling in or control over anything below his upper abdomen.
We are unsure if a portion of his paralysis is temporary, or if this will be a permanent reality for him, but for now, Jeff will live life as a paraplegic.
We’ve had so many people reach out to us, so we’ve created this GoFundMe for those who want to help.
One of the biggest hurdles Jeff and his family will face moving forward is the struggle of regaining the quality of life they once had. We would be incredibly grateful for any financial support you can offer to make this happen. The expenses are sure to stack up quickly; current and future medical bills, wheelchairs, wheelchair ramps, widening doors, modifying bathrooms/kitchens, wheelchair lifts for stairs, a new car that can accommodate a disabled driver are all priorities, but they only represent a portion of the financial burden his family will be bearing during his recovery.
Please, be generous. Help Jeff and his family maintain the quality of life they’ve worked so hard to build. Your support is appreciated more than you can know.
We love you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will leave off with a message that Jeff wants you to hear:
“Every single one of you reading this needs to go hug and kiss your family, right now, at least electronically if physically isn’t an option. Because you never know when your life will change so suddenly and so violently and so permanently...”
“Stop fighting over nonsense that doesn’t matter. Stop hating on people who think differently than you. Stop working so much. Stop, for a moment, and consider the possibility that you may not be right, and that there may not BE a right.”
“Instead, go to fun places and do fun things with the ones that you love. Quickly, before you can’t.”
God Bless you all and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
