<div>On August 26, Steve fell while assisting a friend with a construction project. The fall caused severe misalignment and fractures in his upper spine, requiring emergency surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Steve is currently recovering in the ICU and faces a long road of rehabilitation. His family remains hopeful that, with time and rehabilitation, he will regain the ability to walk and return to a high quality of life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Steve begins this long recovery, his wife, Christy, will need significant in-home assistance to help care for him and manage the demands of his recovery. The cost of this care has been quoted at approximately $12,000–$15,000 per month, creating a substantial financial burden for the family on top of the many other unexpected expenses they are facing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised through this GoFundMe will help cover expenses not covered by insurance, including in-home assistance for Christy and Steve, modifications to their home, and equipment and tools to assist with Steve’s mobility and independence.
</div>

</div>
<div>Thank you for your generosity!
