Donazione protetta
On Saturday, October 10th, Dan and his family went to a pumpkin patch to take family pictures and enjoy the day together. They were all seated at a picnic table in the gazebo area. The gazebo is placed on top of a concrete slab. As the family started to move onto the next event at the pumpkin patch, Dan stepped off of the cement slab and felt a pop, first in one leg, then in the other leg. Dan then fell to the ground. He was unable to bear any weight on either leg. Dan was taken to a nearby emergency room where some testing was done. He was then transferred by ambulance to the hospital in Watertown, SD, where it was determined that Dan had ruptured the quad tendons in both of his legs. Dan had surgery on October 11th. The surgery involved opening up both knees, putting pins in each knee cap, pulling the quad muscles and attaching them to the pins. Dan will be in leg braces for at least six weeks. He will not be able to bend his legs at least for the first two weeks. Dan spent five days in the Watertown hospital and is currently in a skilled nursing facility for rehab. His doctors are estimating three - six months for recovery. Unfortunately, Dan does not have long-term disability insurance. 
Dan is a husband, father, grandfather, brother, football coach, worship team leader, BBQ grill master, a friend to all, a man of faith, and a gentle giant.
Dan is always willing to help others when there is a need. Now, it is our turn to help Dan and his family when they need it the most. With Dan being unable to work for many months, there will be a big loss of income and a lot of medical expenses for him. Please consider donating to Dan's GO FUND ME.
All funds raised will go towards ongoing medical expenses, a ramp that needs to be built at his home, routine monthly living expenses, and use of a medical transportation. Dan will not be able to travel in a regular vehicle for awhile because of not being able to bend his legs. This medical transportation is not covered by Dan's insurance and is quite expensive.
Most of all, please keep Dan and his family in your prayers.
