Earl Hjertstedt Snakebite Recovery Fund

On Saturday, July 13 my very good friend Earl Hjertstedt experienced a very traumatic event that has changed his and his families live's forever. While on a job site he was bitten in the leg by a rattlesnake. He has been through 3 surgery's to remove damaged muscle and ligaments. Unfortunately,  because he has lost so much muscle and ligaments he will have what is called drop foot.  He will need to wear a brace to help hold his foot in a normal position so he can walk.

Earl and his wife Diahanna gave birth to their second baby boy. Because she will be recovering and taking care of their 2 boys under 2 years old and Earl having a long road to recovery; they both will be unable to work for the unforeseeable future. 

All funds donated will go to help keep up with the already large medical bills and to help keep up with other bills that they are accumulating as both are unable to work.  If you can please help them out as much as you can and please share this with anyone you may know who would like to help him and his family through these tough times. 

I will keep everyone updated on his progress on here and please send all of your love and support to Earl. He has already been fortunate enough to have such amazing family and friends who have visited, sent gifts or reached out to him, so keep them coming.
