<div>My name is Jon McCormack, and I'm here in hopes to help out my long-time friend Nedal Elabed. He was out trucking just a few days before Christmas and unfortunately suffered a seizure while behind the wheel. Nedal then unconsciously crashed into a tree and was pinned in the cab of the tractor. He was extracted from the semi-truck by the fire department and airlifted to the nearest hospital, which was in South Bend, Indiana, where they saved his life as he was near death. He had multiple surgeries and has what seems like a never-ending list of injuries. Both legs are broken, both hips, 7 ribs, his spine is fractured in multiple places, and I couldn't tell you how many stitches there are because there are that many. Nedal is finally at home but is literally in a hospital bed still. His minimum projected recovery time is 8 months, but it's very possible it's going to be a lot longer.

<div><strong>Nedal is the sole provider in his family. He has his wife and 3 children. Nedal's wife, Stacy, who is currently 2 months pregnant, his two sons Gabriel and Jaber, and also his daughter Aliyah who all rely on Nedal.</strong> The good news is my friend is still here with us. That's what matters most. But he can use all the help he can get at the moment, especially with this long road to recovery. <strong>All contributions are for medical bills, future medical treatments, and helping provide all the basics a family would need help with in a time like this as now there is no income coming in. </strong>
