Cameron Goude's Hand Injury

Donation protected
My dear son Cameron Goude was in an accident at work on Friday Jan 8th 2016. While doing some routine cleaning of a pellet mill his hand got caught, sucking it into the rotating machine crushing his hand. He was immediately taken to the ER in Moses Lake and quickly transported to Harborview Medical Center for emergency reconstructive surgery on his hand. His index, middle, and ring finger of his right hand (dominant hand) took the bulk of the damage. He is fighting to be able to keep all his fingers. He is currently out of 5hrs of surgery awaiting to see if his hand will deliver the necessary blood throughout his fingers to keep them alive. The severe compound fracture of his index finger fixed best as possible and is looking promising, but the significant blood vessel damage to his ring finger is at great risk.

Cameron was born with club feet, and has spent far too many nights in hospitals having reconstructive surgery on his feet starting before his first birthday and lastly at the age of 10. It breaks my heart to see him suffering through this new trauma on yet another part of his body.

He is avid mechanic spending lots of his time working on his cars and working with his hands. It is his life's dream to drive a race car and work on race car engines. Not a visit with him goes by without him telling me stories of all his great plans on building and improving his ride.

His current employment has him also working alot with his hands being that he is a laborer making organic fertilizer with his grandfather. Allowing him to spend lots of time building, fixing, and maintaining mechanical equipment.

This accident is going to put him out of work for quite a while putting a great financial burden on himself and his girlfriend Jennifer. With travel costs for her, work already lost, and the many months of lost work to come, any and all financial help will be deeply and greatly appreciated. Please help lighten Cameron's finacial burden while he recovers from this by donating any amount you can contribute.

With my most sincere gratitude thank you.
