Louis "Tree" Triana's Spinal Cord Injury Battle
Donation protected
Help Support Tree on his Road to Recovery -
They say some heroes don’t wear capes. In this case, it’s true. Let me tell you about my hero. He’s a hero to many. He goes by the name of Tree or Louie. I’m Jim and he is my youngest brother.
On July 13, 2020 Louis “Tree” Triana was at a friend’s house helping with a project and suffered a spinal cord injury at level C4 and C5, along with lung damage from being submerged in water. He is paralyzed from the chest down and was on a ventilator for months. He worked incredibly hard in rehab to regain the ability to breathe again and hopes to be able to regain the use of his arms and hopefully his legs.
Tree has a daughter, Tiffany and grandson Avery who live in Arkansas. With his wife, Jill, of 20 years they have three amazing teen kids: Aubrie, Emily & Dylan. Tree is an avid outdoorsman and looks forward to being back at home, gracing everyone with his witty and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor.
Tree is a veteran and is proud of his military background. Petty Officer Triana served his country with the Navy for nearly 10 years. Tree's commitment to our country was noted when he was working as a medic alongside the Marines for Operation Restore Hope in Somalia. Later, as a civilian, Tree went to work in the medical field. Today, he works at an area hospital and looks forward to the day he will return to work.
Due to COVID-19, he was not able to have his family by his side. Some of the normal actions which assist in healing, such as loving touch and constant words of encouragement were just not possible, as he was alone.
Please consider donating to him and his beautiful family. The future is uncertain, but they do know there will be major modifications to their home, a handicap-accessible vehicle, aides, and numerous medical expenses and devices.
Although he has suffered a near-fatal accident and a life-changing event, he remains a pillar of hope to his friends and family and his spirit is strong. There are many things he wants to do, and even wants to get what he calls a 4-wheel drive wheelchair so he can enjoy the outdoors with his family.
Please help support Tree on his road to recovery as he battles his spinal cord injury. If you cannot donate, there is still much you can do. Please pray and share this with others in support of Tree. Thank you for being #TogetherForTree and for helping our hero, who is #trianastrong. Thank you in advance for your donations and your prayers, both are greatly appreciated.
