Bring Pat Home
Donazione protetta
Dear Family and Friends,
As you may have heard, my brother Pat was involved in a single vehicle roll over accident on Saturday, August 10th while returning to his home in Newbury Park. Pat has no feeling from his chest down as he sustained major injuries to his back. He was in surgery for 6 hours on Sunday and the doctors have confirmed he will likely never be able to walk again. We are heartbroken.
Pat and his wife Patty and two children, Johnny and Kelly, have been showered with your prayers and offers of help which is getting them through this tragic event. God has a plan for Pat which is why we are celebrating that he is still with us, has no major head injuries and is able to move his arms. The road to recovery for Pat, Patty and the family will be long. He remains in the ICU this week and will be hospitalized for the next several weeks before he begins rehabilitation efforts.
Pat and Patty are optimistic that they will be able to stay in their home but there is much work needed to accommodate Pat. We are still assessing the options but we know the entire downstairs will need to be re-constructed to increase the size of the small bedroom, open up the bathroom and install new bathing facilities, widen all of the door jams as well as ramps for wheelchair access.
Pat would never ask for any help but I would like to see if we can raise some funds to help off set the cost for the retrofit of the house and other expenses they will certainly have. Any amount contributed will be greatly appreciated and will ease the transition of this life changing event for Pat and Patty.
