Near Death Drowning accident , Father Paralyed.

On Saturday July 11th  Ricky had a diving accident at the lake. His teenage son & nephew jumped into action and pulled Ricky to shore. Ricky was unresponsive, not breathing & badly injured. He was rushed to the hospital. The doctors performed life saving measures and begun testing. The doctors determined his neck is broke at 3 levels. C-4, C-5 & C-6.  He is placed in a Halo & when he is in stable condition he will be flown to Seattle for surgery. He currently is paralyzed on his right side and partially on his left side.  The doctors do not even have an explanation on how Ricky survived at all. But so far, it looks like Ricky will survive. However, He has a very long journey to the road to any recovery. And that journey has not even begun yet. His wife is at his side. Neither of them will be able to work for quite a while. Ricky May  not work again. Ricky , his wife & children live in Montana. His wife will need to pay for hotel , food & personal effects while in Seattle. During this time they still have to pay rent and bills while in Seattle. There will be their portion of medical expense. And this is going to be a never ending struggle.  This accident was an unforeseen occurrence. They both work hard and live paycheck to paycheck. They have no way to survive these financial responsibilities on their own.  Our family asks for your help with donations. No gift  is to small. I ask that you share this fundraiser on your social media, email, text and every group you can. If you pray please send those too! If you don’t pray please send your good thoughts of healing and financial survival. Thank you from our families.
