This time of year is about gathering with family and friends, traditions and spending time in the great outdoors. Few people love those things more than Justin Noah. He is a hard-working welder at Valmont in Valley, Ne, who loves to fish, hunt and lives for Husker football.

Celebrating on July 3rd, at a cookout with friends, Justin was involved in a severe firework accident. He was life flighted to UNMC and underwent 7+ hours of surgery. He lost his left hand and will lose his left eye. Justin also broke two bones in his arm and suffered burns across his chest and face.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, Justin has always been the toughest guy any of us have ever known. But, until this accident, we never understood exactly how mentally tough he is. That mental strength along with all of our thoughts and prayers ... that's what's going to see him through this. Your generous and thoughtful donations will help him with bills and expenses; this way, his main focus can be on his recovery and not worrying about how he's going to cover all of these expenses, while he's unable to work.
