For Doug and Patti

July 7 th was just an ordinary summers day in Patti’s and Doug’s life as they were enjoying a beautiful day outside in their pool with their daughter Gracie.

The unthinkable happened, and Doug unfortunately had an accident in the pool that resulted in a serious spinal injury. He was airlifted to St.Johns where he had surgery to fuse together 3 vertebrae to aid in decreasing the swelling in his spine. He has received the best of care and support and has recently made positive progress in his recovery as now he is able to breathe on his own without the assistance of a ventilator.

Doug’s doctor confirms that he has a complete injury leaving him a quadriplegic. However, Doug is a strong, determined hard working man and will make big strides in his rehabilitation journey.

As you all know there will be a huge financial cost , trips to St. John’s, hospitalization,rehab time, after care and loss of employment just to name a few.

I am asking for your support in financial donations to help ease this stressful situation. The family needs to focus on rehabilitation and recovery now and not have the worries of money. Please donate whatever you can, every bit counts!

Big thanks for all your support! It means a lot.
