Dear Friends, 

Regretfully, my wife Amber, was involved in a car accident on April 24, 2025. The accident happened in Houston, Texas, where she received treatment for five weeks prior to being transferred back home to Nashville. The injuries are pretty serious. She suffered a spinal fracture and a spinal cord injury, as well as extensive ligament tearing. She is currently pursuing intensive physical rehabilitation to attempt to restore some if not all of her mobility after receiving corrective spinal surgery in Houston. She still has extensive paralysis that we hope will be temporary, but there is no way of knowing about this at this time. In any case, Amber's outlook remains positive and we are so glad to still have her with us. 

Amber and I have set up this GoFundMe to cover medical bills and because she will be unable to work for the foreseeable future. I myself am disabled with kidney disease and heart failure and only able to work part-time around my own treatments. 

If you are so inclined to donate, we would be immensely thankful. We are grateful for the support we have already received here and for all the well wishes and thoughts. We will keep you updated on Amber's progress as things progress.
 
With sincerest thanks, 

Amber and Rod Den Exter
