If you know Fred, I am sure he has made you laugh at some point during your interaction with one another. He has certainly impacted lives in our small town in one way or another. We hope you will find it in your heart to send some positive thoughts and prayers his way today and in the days to come.

As some of you know, Fred was involved in a devastating car accident last week, March 10, 2021. This accident left him with multiple broken bones and spinal damage. He is currently hospitalized at UNC Hospital and has already undergone a lengthy surgery to repair some of the injuries he has faced. He has a long and challenging road to recovery ahead of him.

Due to COVID-19 limitations, his wife is having to face most of the hospital visits alone without little to no room for relief. At this point, it is unknown exactly what challenges they will face during his recovery process, but we do know there will be many unexpected expenses as a result of this accident. Due to his injuries, we expect he may be hospitalized for an extended period which means his wife will commute back and forth to the hospital while also managing their home and their son’s needs. As he begins to recover, there may also be a need to purchase equipment to help with his rehabilitation and recovery.

Many have asked how you can help. In addition to your prayers for his complete healing, we want to make sure we can help alleviate the financial burden that this situation has brought upon this family so suddenly.

Let’s show Fred and the Taylor family that they are not alone and how much he is loved by his family, friends, and small-town community! We appreciate anything you are willing and able to provide during this difficult time.
