Support Chad's Recovery and Family Needs

Life is so precious and yet, can be changed at any moment. We have all been through trials and tribulations. Our family has never been through anything like this. We are not ones to ask for help, however, now is a time of desperate measures. Chad was in a horrific accident at work causing him to fall three stories from a faulty pool enclosure. He has sustained life changing injuries including four skull fractures, orbital fractures that are affecting his eyes and vision, and severe lacerations. Both of his arms and wrists were shattered with several fractures that are requiring extensive surgeries with plates, rods, and pins. He has a trauma team at OPMC including neurosurgery, orthopedic, ENT, internists, pain management, and possibly ophthalmologist. Chad has been the rock of our family. In addition to this terrible event, Chad's wife Bridgett was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis last month. Due to her condition, Chad has been her caregiver and now the roles are being reversed. They share two beautiful little boys ages 3 and 8 who are their reasons for living. We are asking for any help to cover monthly obligations, medical bills for the trauma unit, and additional medical care Chad will need once he is released home. Chad will be out of work for a minimum of 5 months, likely longer as the work he does requires intense physical labor. As of now we know he will be requiring round the clock care as both of his arms and hands are not able to be used plus his skull fractures require him to be bedbound. Bridgett is working part time due to her condition with MS. Simply sharing this post will help our family. We cannot express the appreciation we have for any help. Please keep Chad in your prayers for this long recovery. Thanks to each and every one of you.
