Al and Kelly's UTV accident

Donation protected
On the evening of September 3rd my brother and I received a message that our parents were in an UTV accident in Tennessee. At the time we only knew they had slid off the road, down into a ravine and that they had been airlifted. We drove down from Chicago not knowing if our parents were even alive. Luckily they survived.

They had gotten too close to the edge of a gravel road and rolled off the side, about a 15 foot drop. My Dad ended up pinned underneath the vehicle, my mom was ejected and suffered a broken neck and back. Once my mom came to she was somehow able to climb back up to the road and find help, but from the time she was able to do that almost two hours had passed with my dad still being crushed by the UTV.

As of now they are both in the hospital my mom with a broken neck and back, and small bleeding to the brain. My dad has undergone 3 surgeries thus far to reconnect his intestines, fix his bladder and fix fractures to his pelvis.

My dad has enough to worry about in this situation and I know that these medical bills are going to crush his spirits. Me and my brother are going to do all we can to help but I know that support from others would mean the world to him. If you can donate it would be awesome but I know people have there own problems to deal with in life as well.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I wish everyone the best.
