Donate to Kevin Belding's Medical Expenses

Update 4/15/25 - Thank you to those who have donated to Venmo and to the Go Fund Me so far, and also for your prayers. The vent was removed yesterday and he is doing well. The next step is to move him out of ICU, but it will still be a few more days.

UPDATE 4/14/25 - Kevin received good news that he may possibly have the vent removed sometime today. He will remain in ICU but this is a good sign. Please keep those prayers coming! They are working!

My name is Marilyn Slattery (formerly known as Marilyn Belding) .

As many of you know, Kevin Belding fell from a bucket truck while trimming trees on Sunday, April 6, 2025. He was rushed to Bryan West in Lincoln, NE and is currently in the ICU. He suffered multiple fractures in his upper and lower leg, multiple fractures in his pelvis, along with 9 broken ribs and a punctured lung. He has had two surgeries so far and has been on a ventilator since Monday.

Although Kevin is a fighter, his road to recovery will be a long one. We are unsure as to when he will be transferred out of ICU and able to receive visitors.

Diana and Kevin appreciate all the overwhelming love and support from family and friends. Many of you have called or sent texts and messages asking if you can visit or how you can help. At this time, the best way you can assist them is financially.

Over the years, Kevin, Diana and The Joker Show Band have held many benfefits to raise money for others who have suffered medical or personal losses. Kevin is self employed and due to his accident, he will not be able to work for several months, maybe longer. Anything you could donate to assist them during this time would be appreciated as insurance does not cover everyday expenses. Gift cards for meals, gas or groceries would also be very helpful.

If you do not want to contribute to the Go Fund Me, we have set up a Venmo account @Diana-Belding or you can donate directly to Diana Belding's checking account at the Farmer's and Merchant's Bank in Jansen, NE
