Brian Hope needs temporary help!
Donation protected
Brian Hope was in a traumatic ATV accident Saturday June 30th, 2018. While riding as the passenger and chaperoning a friend in his yard on his side by side, his friend flipped the ATV on it's side. As it flipped, Brian instinctively stuck his arm out to catch himself. When the vehicle landed, the roof skidded over his arm. It was his dominant arm. The injuries left him with a major loss of blood, fractured arm and possible infection and skin grafting. His hospital stay will be up to 4 weeks and rehabilitation will be at least 1 year. So early in the game, the best case scenario is to not let the injury get infected. So the surgeon has to open it up every 3 days to clean it out. Plates cannot be applied to the breaks for at least 2 weeks. His arm is being held together by an external fixator for the time being.
Brian is a hardworking business owner. He's owned a house painting/cabinet staining business for over 10 years and does A LOT of the work himself with a small dedicated and loyal crew. Even though Brian did not lose his arm as initially feared, he has at least a year of rehabilitation until returning to work. He fears he will lose his business but friends and family are cheering him on. In the mean time, everyday bills and medical costs (and gas for his wife to and from the hospital) will be inflating. The purpose of this GoFundMe is to alleviate some of the financial stress so Brian can focus on getting his arm back to 100% and keep his business going until he can fully return in a year. The possibility of not being able to provide for your family is a man's worst fear. Please help our friend, family, husband, father, grandfather. He is loved by so many and no one wants to see him hurting.
