Hi everyone! I have a really good friend from work, Tina, who I’ve know for several years now. She is amazing and is always there to help and support everyone else! She is going through a tough time currently as her husband, Richard, had a work accident at the beginning of December. He was working at his construction job when a finished wall fell on top of him, landing on his head/ neck. Breaking his T12 and L1 vertebrae in his spine, as well as two other severe fractures.

He was in the hospital for 9 days and had two different surgeries during that time. Since then he has had 3 different emergency room visits and 5 doctors appointments, with 4 more coming up within the next week or so.

Tina and Richard are also guardians of their young grandson Kingston. Since the accident not only is Tina taking care of Kingston she now has to be Richard’s care taker as well. Helping him shower, go to the bathroom, giving him his medicines.. etc. She has had to use UNPAID time off of work to be able to care for him and take him to all of his doctors appointments, which definitely adds up. Richard will definitely have a long road to recovery, and I would love to be able to help them out during this time!
