On Saturday, June 7th, our dear friend Cole was in a terrible accident while mowing a lawn. He fell 10 feet from a retaining wall and suffered severe injuries to his left foot. Since then, he’s already undergone two surgeries to clean and explore the damage, and doctors have placed pins to stabilize the area. Cole’s journey to recovery is just beginning — he’ll need more surgeries, skin grafts, and time to heal.

If you know Cole, you know his strength and spirit. He’s not out of the woods yet, but we have no doubt it won’t be long before he’s back in the woods — surrounded by his friends, catching up on lost time and laughter.

We’ve started this GoFundMe to help ease some of the financial stress during this incredibly difficult time. This is his and Cassie’s first summer in their new home and Cole just started a new job. If Cole has ever lended you a helping hand now is the time to return the favour. Our hope is to give Cole the space to focus fully on healing — with his loved ones by his side, every step of the way.

Anything is appreciated. Thank you so much!

Zach, Hayleigh and Reid.
