Hello, my name is Rachel and I am fundraising for my brother-in-law Milo Moore, my sister Jessica Reising Moore and their two children, Adam and Carley. On the early afternoon of December 26th 2023 Milo had stopped by our Dad’s shop with my niece and nephew to visit Grandpa. While helping our Dad move sheets of steel, the stack became unstable and began to fall over. The weight of the steel was too much for them to hold up. Unfortunately, Milo was in the corner, trapped between shop racking and a forklift, and he had no where to go. The 3,000 pounds of steel that fell on Milo, caused him to hit his head on the racking and crushed both of his legs. Our Dad was able to lift the pile of steel off Milo with the forklift as quickly as possible, and the ambulance & fire truck were there in minutes. Milo has suffered severe tissue damage and two broken legs, both of his tibias and one fibula. He had surgery to remove bone fragments caused by the steel crushing and splintering the bones as well as repairing the broken bones with plates and screws. During surgery it was also determined that they needed to do bone graphing as well. Milo is in ICU and will remain in the hospital for approximately a week. He will be wheel chair bound for a few months depending on how long it takes the bones to heal. He will then require Physical Therapy to start to walk again and we aren’t really sure exactly how long before he will be able to get back to work or if he will even be able to return to work.

For those who don’t know, Milo is the breadwinner of the family. He has worked very hard as an over the road truck driver, and has made many sacrifices over the years in order to provide for his family. During this time, I am asking for some help for my sister and brother-in-law so they can make it through this time without the added financial stress that comes along with such a life changing accident. Any little bit to help cover rent, household bills, car payments, medical bills and hospital stay would be greatly appreciated so that Milo can focus on healing and his recovery at this time. We are all tremendously grateful that Milo is still with us. We are also truly thankful that his injuries and the outcome were not any worse. It will take some time, but with much love and support, Milo, Jessica, and their children will make it through. My family cannot thank you enough for any donation you may be able to make. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
