It was two years ago when Greg 'Geronimo' Phillips took a motorcycle ride on a nice Labor Day Weekend. As he approached an intersection, a mini van stopped and the driver looked directly at him (or through him) so Greg thought she would stop. Unfortunately he was wrong. The minivan was instantly in front of him, he T-boned it, and his left foot got crushed between the 600 lbs of Harley Davidson, the minivan, and the road.

And so began his journey, one filled with surgeries, mersa infections, screws added and removed, months of endless physical therapy, and no shortage of relentless pain. Still not a break. It was determined that the damage was so severe and despite all of his hard work, in order for him to have any kind of life of mobility, he would need to have his foot amputated.

Now starts the next chapter. He has to part with his beloved Mustang because he can no longer drive a standard shift, and he needs a vehicle better equipped for northeast winters. Greg had his surgery on September 25th and he has about six weeks of healing before the process of getting a prosthetic can begin. His bills are growing daily, and, quite honestly, he needs financial help. Even if it's enough to keep the lights on, and keep the supply of dark roast coffee coming, that's fine, but we have a vision of getting him enough support to get another vehicle and to get his life back.

Thank you for any and all gifts.
