Prayer Warriors, Friends of Joseph Keith and Becky Cruse, and Jessica Knight and Family,

We need your prayers.

Keith was involved in a four car pile up crash in which he was rear ended at a high speed while stopped in traffic on the interstate in Nashville, Tennessee. At the time of the accident, Keith was driving a leased vehicle with a passenger. Unfortunately, the vehicle’s safety measures (airbags) did not deploy, despite the impact of the accident’s severity. Keith was rushed to the nearest hospital by ambulance, then after accounting for the injuries, he was transferred to a trauma center for a higher level of care.

From what we’ve gathered, Keith has sustained injuries that include a fractured spine and a punctured lung.

Update 03/16/2023:

Keith had surgery on his spine, introducing two metal rods and a metal plate to help stabilize his spine. Post-surgery, Keith is bound to the hospital bed, and a cervical collar has been placed around his neck to stabilize movement.

Keith and Becky need your prayers and financial support to cover the cost of living expenses while Keith is in the hospital recovering from surgery, having to do physical therapy, and regaining his strength.

For those of you who know, Becky’s mobility is restricted in what she can do because she is in a wheelchair, and without Keith’s assistance, she would be otherwise homebound without help. At this time, Jessica and Izzy are looking after Becky.

Keith is the sole provider. Unfortunately, due to the accident, surgery, recovery, and rehab, he cannot work.

Your monetary contribution will be a tremendous blessing!

I will continue to post updates as Becky and Jessica provide more information.
