On September 1st Kenn Andersen fell 20 feet onto rocks below when the scaffolding he was working from collapsed. He was on a commissioned project in the mountains of Fairview, Utah with a poor cell signal, causing a lengthy wait as paramedics searched for him.

He required emergency transfer from one hospital to another for his extensive injuries, including a dislocated and broken left shoulder, four broken ribs, and a shattered left foot.


Reconstructive surgery on his shoulder and surgery to re-articulate his foot both required permanent implants. After weeks in the hospital recovering, doctors discovered blood clots in both legs and a previously missed fracture in his right tibia, meaning Kenn could no longer stand. During therapy sessions he'd actually been putting all his weight on a broken leg.

Thankfully Kenn is home now to heal, but as of October 24th, both legs are still non-weight-bearing and the use of his left arm is at an absolute minimum. He's got a long road of recovery ahead and will be out of work for months.



With no access to long- or short-term disability, Kenn is facing mounting out-of-pocket medical expenses as well as rent and cost of living while out of work. He's always been a very giving person and quick to help those in need, especially when it comes to emergency repairs and putting his expansive contractor knowledge to use. Any help given to him during this time is immensely appreciated.
