Help Lee and Family Recover from Life Altering Accident
Donation protected
My name is Kourtney, I am Lee’s wife. Together we have 5 children. On March 9th, Lee was driving to pick up his sister when he wrecked our Tahoe by Old Frisco Trail, totaling the vehicle and himself. He was transported to Mercy where they found that he had broken bones in his neck, a tibial plateau fracture to his right leg, a broken rib, a broken left wrist, and fractures to his ankles. That same day, Lee was taken to Saint Francis in Tulsa and they performed the first surgery on his leg. With the damage caused by the wreck, Lee has been unable to work since March 9th. He’s since had two more leg surgeries and wrist surgery and could potentially need neck surgery. I work full time but the pay is monthly and after taxes, I only receive $2,200. Lee started his job as a teen; he did not know that he’d ever need short-term disability, so unfortunately that wasn’t an option for us to use. He has tried finding remote work-from-home jobs, but the companies would not hire him due to his lack of computer skills. I have also tried finding part-time jobs with no success due to my availability (days off). We aren’t asking for money to play with, we’re just asking for money to help with a few bills before we lose everything. Our electric and gas have cut-off notices. We are at risk of losing our only vehicle and the home we let my grandmother stay in is at risk of going to the sheriff's sale if 2021’s taxes aren’t paid. We are currently in the negative over $500 in our bank account, so once I cash my check, I’ll have just enough to pay this month’s house payment.
Money is not everything, but without it, we will lose everything we’ve worked hard for. We’ve used the resources we’re aware of, but it’s not cutting it. We don’t like asking for help, but we need it this time. If you feel inclined, just know that we appreciate you for helping.
