Help cover travel and medical expenses

As most of you know Travis Sanders suffered a stroke as a result of a ruptured aneurysm. He was flown by Alert helicopter to Logan Health in Kalispell. When he arrived the attending physician conducted a CT scan and discovered he needed emergency surgery; however, the type of surgeon who could perform the surgery was not available in Montana. The closest neuroradiologist is in Spokane. He acted quickly and got on the phone with both Spokane and Seattle. Within minutes we had an answer and they prepared him for another helicopter ride. Alert flew out to Sacred Heart in Spokane in the early morning hours on Wednesday. They performed surgery Wednesday afternoon. The surgery went well but we are on a long road to recovery. Thank God everyone acted so quickly! The doctor is anticipating he will be in Spokane for roughly 30 days. Unfortunately, that means neither Trav nor Rochelle will be pulling in a paycheck for at least the next month. We are hoping to help raise enough funds to assist with travel, lodging and other expenses for the family to alleviate some of the burdens so they can just focus on Trav getting back to the fun-loving guy we all know and love! Anything that you can do to help would be greatly appreciated by him and his family.
