Dear friends, 
For those of you that haven't heard, our friend Jeff, had a terrible accident last night.  He was flown by Mediflight Air Ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.  He is in the ICU/burn unit.  His mother stated that he has 3rd degree burns on his arms and hands and 2nd degree burns on his face and body.  There are going to be several surgies, an extensive stay in the hospital, and a long recovery period,  so the expense will be extremely overwhelming for him.  

We can all agree that Jeff has one of the kindest, most generous souls. He is always so pleaseant to be around because of his bubbly personality.  His passion is photography.  He has  said several times he feels this is his calling from God.   This man never misses an opportunity to photograph our children at their sport, and WOW can he catch the good shots!!  He also freely shares his love of nature and weather. He gives us memories to last a lifetime through his passion.  Born and raised in Blount County,  he has so richly affected all of us.  It only seems fit that we now give back to help him heal.

Any amount is greatly appreciated as his family is truly grateful.
