Josh, a hardworking single father of three wonderful children, is facing an unimaginable challenge after a severe motorcycle accident left him critically injured. As a dedicated crew leader for a farming business, Josh was in the midst of the busiest time of the year—chopping silage—when tragedy struck. While riding from IL Hwy 135 toward Kirkwood, IL on 20th St, he crested a hill only to find a car veering into his lane. With no time to react, Josh was forced to swerve into a ditch, ultimately crashing across 180th Ave. The accident resulted in devastating injuries: three fractured lower vertebrae, multiple neck fractures, torn ligaments, facial fractures, and a deep laceration to his side. He was life-flighted to OSF St. Francis, where he spent a grueling week in the hospital before being released.

Now, Josh faces a long and difficult recovery with strict medical restrictions that prevent him from returning to work. As a single dad who pours his heart into providing for his children, the inability to work during this critical season is overwhelming. Medical bills are piling up, and the financial strain is mounting, threatening the stability of his family. Josh, a proud and independent man, is not one to ask for help, which makes this moment all the more urgent. He should be focusing on healing and spending time with his kids, not worrying about how to keep the bills paid.

Your generous donation will help cover medical expenses, household bills, and the essentials his children rely on, allowing Josh to focus on recovery without the weight of financial stress.
