Support Ricky's Recovery from 2 Story Roof Fall

Donation protected
My name is Abigail Schaller and I’m trying to raise funds for a good friend of mine, Hector Cid.
Hector, known by many of us as “Ricky”, works in roofing. He got on the roof one day, as he always does, and fell straight through.
Ricky fell two stories through the roof of an old barn, landing on the concrete floor below. As the ambulance took him away, he told friends he couldn’t feel his legs.
He suffered a fractured pelvis, a fractured shoulder, and 4 fractures in his arm. He spent over two weeks in intensive care at the University of Iowa, where he received constant blood work, 3 surgeries and physical therapy. He is still in a wheelchair, and is working on sitting up in bed.
Thankfully, he is out of the hospital now and doing better, but he is now faced with an incredible cost in medical bills.
Ricky is a wonderful person, a hard worker and has contributed to the construction of our community for 5 years. He has no family here in the US to be alongside him or help him with costs. We ask that our community could come together to help our friend pay his bills and feel our support.
