Stephen Rhines and family - Motorcycle Accident
Donation protected
My name is Sarah and I am raising money for my cousin Heather Rhines and her family. Her husband Stephen had a motorcycle accident on Tuesday night October 12, 2021 on his way home from their daughters soccer game. He was air lifted to the Med in Memphis where he is currently in ICU medically sedated on a ventilator. He has a broken jaw on both sides, a broken arm, a injury to his C-spine, and bruising on his brain along with several other less serious injuries. He will have to have surgery to repair his arm and both jaws. He was wearing a helmet but after the accident it was found in pieces several yards away from him. He will be in the hospital for a while and once he is released from the hospital he will be in a neck brace and have both jaws wired shut for a minimum of 6 weeks and will likely need his wife there to care for him. We will not know the extent of any damage from the brain bruising until he is awake and able to talk. On rare occasions that he does wake briefly he does not remember what happened and is naturally scared. He will not be able to return to work for a very long time. His wife, Heather, is currently missing work due to being at the hospital with him as much as possible and taking care of their two beautiful children, Lailah age 10 and Gunner age 7. I am raising money for Heather to be able to take off work longer to care for her husband and children while still being able to take care of bills and daily needs as well as the medical bills they will have. Any help is greatly appreciated by both myself and Heather and her family as it will allow her to take care of her husband and children without having to worry about money.
