Help the Jason family get back on their feet.

Hello My name is Jason B, I am married with two beautiful young daughters, we currently live in a wonderful neighborhood that we have lived in for years. What does this have to do with anything you ask we’ll I’d love to explain.

My family and I have lived happy as we could over the last few years, and in 2024 that all changed. In January of 2024 I was exiting my vehicle to go into work, as soon as my foot hit the parking lot surface, my left foot shot out from underneath me and I came crashing down with the full weight of my body crashing down on the cold wet pavement. After I’d hit the ground, the feeling in my left leg was dissipating to nothing. I laid there for 15 cold minutes waiting for help, see it was 7am and some have not yet reached work yet. And finally one of my coworkers came in and immediately ran over, I explained what had happened and he had ran off to get the other guys. See I called my superior but no answer several times, making the situation tense.

we had called 911 and was able to get me to the hospital. After being in the hospital for a few hours and had X-rays and MRIs taken, I waited some more. Waiting with my wife who is now at the hospital with me frantic and worried with no answers as of yet. Finally one of the attending nurses came in and said we have your room ready. Over the course of the next day I’d spoke with numerous doctors etc, my surgeon basically told me that if I don’t get the surgery done I could and would end up completely paralyzed from the waste down.

so we went into surgery with high hopes of coming out fine with minimal down time.

I was wrong! Woke up in the ICU. Was in the ICU without the feeling still in my left leg. Was transferred to a room, where things started to set in, and hard they sat in.

I was then transferred to DMC for inpatient Physical Therapy. I spent a month working on getting something back in my leg in regards to moving and feeling. Sadly that month didn’t prove to be that great. Following discharge from there I was home at last. I started PT shortly after home which I spent more than a year getting back to my feet.

I am so thankful that I am mobile now, definitely not without its issues. I can hardly bend my leg to clear it to walk correctly, all kinds of nerve issues, back issues and so on. Definitely a huge life changing experience. One that had played a huge impact on my mental health and the overall live living experience has altered.

I am asking for help something I have never reached out for, specially from others. Our bills and livelihood are starting to be impacted heavily. Put mortgage is behind, majority of our credit card bills are late, we are trying are hardest to stay afloat between her working and me collecting hardly anything from Workman’s Comp. Hour fund and our bank accounts are depleting and fast.

I am seeking help and nothing more. I’m the type that if this wasn’t the last resort I wouldn’t be taking it, but it is.

I want to thank everyone who has made it this far. God bless and thank you.
