Help Jeromy recover from his skydiving incident.
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jeromy and I was involved in a traumatic skydiving incident.
On Saturday January 8, 2022 at approximately 3:34 pm, I impacted the Earth at 78 mph under a perfectly working parachute. I bounced (skipped) 70 feet to the second point of impact, then skidding to a stop. I woke up on January 12th after four days in a medically induced coma. Click here for more details. On January 31, 2022 I was admitted to the Bannasch Institute for Advanced Rehabilitation Medicine and completed two weeks of intensive inpatient rehab, 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. Click here for more details.
I've been blessed with the renewed gift of life, and I am grateful for all the large and small miracles I've encountered so far: my limbs have returned to function one at at time; managing my pain without opiates; having medical insurance; having two amazing sons and so much family and friends that prepared my home and visited in the hospital, and for my Sister that came to Florida to bring me home. There is so much to be thankful for.
However, as I'm now home in Jackson, another bit of reality is settling in. Financially, I've never planned for something like this. I will be unable to work for 3 to 6 months, and realistically I will lose a year's worth of skydiving income (~$25,000) while gaining several new expenses. Although some are minor (a wheelchair from Amazon was only $228,) I have an immediate need to raise $11533.62 to pay the cost of the wheelchair ramp into my home.
If you're able to help donate or share this post, thank you. If you want to help in another way, please call or email me. I've had a lot of people ask to see the video... so here it is! Thanks for coming to visit the gofundme page!
