Support Jeff Nisbet’s recovery from trauma

I, Robin Sallie, am raising funds on behalf of my friend and coworker, Jeff Nisbet, and his family, to help with medical, months of rehab, and other expenses while Jeff is unable to work.

On July 19, 2023, Jeff was in his backyard trimming a tree that was damaged recently. His three children - all under the age of six - played at a safe distance nearby. The top of the large tree fell on Jeff crushing him.

His injuries are extensive with 12 broken ribs, a broken clavicle, a collapsed lung, compressed lower lumbar spinal fractures in 6 discs, and internal bleeding. All of these bones will take time to heal. It is impossible to know when he will be able to return to work so his family needs our help.

A little bit about Jeff. He is a father, a teacher, a cross county coach, a track coach, a runner, an artist, and a friend to all. He is JOY personified. As the faculty graduation speaker selected by the Class of 2023 at our school, it was no surprise he spoke on the topic of joy.

Jeff has received an incredible outpouring of love and support, and is grateful for everyone's kindness, good wishes, and prayers. Many people have asked how they can support the family, so I have created this GoFundMe page to provide some relief for Jeff, Kayla, and their children.
