Monday morning update:
We were keeping this a secret from Bill and Colleen until we saw how it went. We shared the page with them last night. They were pretty choked up in their response and want everyone to know how deeply grateful they are for the help to get restarted.
Knowing them, we all know our donations will be respected and will be used wisely.
Thanks everyone for showing them that we love and support them!
Hi. This message is from Mike Ravenscroft and Ed Rhinehart. We are trying to raise some funds to help Billy and Colleen. As some of you know they were in a bad accident last Wednesday and were in the hospital with a bundle of injuries. Bill broke 5-7 ribs, punctured lung and broken arm and hand. Colleen had a broken hand and concussion. They were lucky to live through it but they will be convalescing for a while. Their truck got wrecked and the trailer that has been their home for the last 7 years, because of medical issues, may be salvageable but maybe not. Since this was their home they will be homeless snd staying in Seattle with Bills sister Jane while they convalesce until they figure out how to reassemble their lives. Without being able to work they will need our help to get them going again.
We would like to get enough funding together for them so the pressure is off of them while they work on putting their life back together. It’ll be a long slog for them but with our support maybe we could ease the burden a bit. If you can please donate and please send this to anyone that knows them.
All donations will go directly to Bill and Colleen to help them rebuild.
Thanks all
Mike and Ed
