Please help your favorite, local Kalamazoo Poo Crew business owner recover after tragic accident.

Owning your own business has its perks! Making your own hours, interacting with some of the best people (or in this case, animals) and having so much love in the your work that even your license plate radiates your passion, all while providing the necessities for your family.

That sense of security changed on Tuesday June 3rd when Brian was at the boat launch off long lake road, preparing and determined to place 1st in the ‘Mainstream’ fishing tournament, when his truck wouldn’t shift gears. As he was inspecting the undercarriage, insistent on finding the cause of what was holding him back from competing in his best tournament to date, the shift linkage malfunctioned, and forced the gear into neutral, while he was under the truck.

Miraculously Brian survived his truck rolling over him, as for the truck; it ended up being towed out of the lake. With both of Brians collar bones broke, one leg being seriously injured, and some pretty gnarly road rash, he’s now out of work for an unknown amount of time. If you could find it in your heart to help Brian recover financially from this massively traumatic accident, I’m sure he will give each and everyone of you a shout out, with the first fishing rod he’s able to cast.

What minimal savings he had, has already been applied to some of his medical bills, and since medical insurance isn’t the most affordable necessity to have, his out of pocket copays are astronomical. The discrepancies with the vehicle insurance company have already begun, proving this will be even harder to financially recover from. Thank you all so much, and remember, life is short, go fishing!
