Bobby Connell is a lifelong member of the Hampton, New Hampshire community. He began

working at Hampton Beach at just 14 years old, like many local kids who take on summer jobs

along the beach.

Bobby later pursued his education and became a successful auto mechanic. He is the son of

Todd Connell, a longtime Sysco representative who has supported Seacoast businesses for

many years and is well known for his dedication to the community.

On November 8, 2025, Bobby was involved in a devastating accident and was rushed to

Portsmouth Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. He was later transferred to

Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston. As a result of his injuries, Bobby is now paralyzed

from the neck down.

Despite this life-altering challenge, Bobby is working incredibly hard in rehabilitation and

continues to face each day with determination.

To bring Bobby home safely, his family must complete extensive modifications to their house,

including a wheelchair-accessible ramp, widened doorways, major bathroom renovations with

a handicapped-accessible shower, and transportation-related accessibility needs.

The Connell family cannot do this alone. We are asking friends, family, coworkers, and

community members to help make it possible for Bobby to return home safely and with

dignity. Any donation—no matter the size—will make a meaningful difference for Bobby and

his parents, Sue and Todd Connell.

This fundraiser is being organized by Judy Conway and Traci Schaake on behalf of Bobby Connell and his family

Thank you for your kindness, generosity and support.

The Connell Family, Judy Conway and Traci Schaake
