Future son in law seriously injured

Donation protected
On August 22 2018, the unthinkable happened to my future son in law. I received a phone call that I won't ever forget. He works for a tree company in the Holland, Michigan area. He is their only tree cutter and climber and is always looking in the face of danger due to the nature of his job. That morning of Aug. 22 my daughter called in a massive panic filled tone giving me the severe details that he had fallen 40 + feet from the tree he had just had ascended to or thought he had. He thought he had clipped himself to the rope holding him and apparently it didn't connect and he leaned back and free fell to the ground landing on nothing but rocks. After the fall, it soon became evident the severity of the accident.  Upon medical observation and diagnosis, he had broken his femur, has a small distilled tibia ankle, and also broke his back in 2 locations, T12 and L1.  Thank God he had a helmet on, as he had no damage to his head, as when he hit ground his helmet broke his fall and exploded. Due to the severity of his injuries that were incurred during this accident, he now faces a lengthy rehab and recovery period that will keep him out of work for a potentially lengthy period of time, just told today 6 months to a year. He will be in the hospital for at least a month. My daughter is 7 months pregnant and their bills will be accumulating with little means to pay these obligations. As my daughter being the sole income provider during this time waiting tables will be an inadequate source of income given their living situation.  The company does not provide insurance so many out of pocket expenses will most likely occur.. they have a daughter turning 2 and a brother on the way.  It is through the grace of God he survived this horrible tragic  incident. I'm asking that you put yourself in their shoes for just one minute to imagine the struggle that will be forthcoming for her family. Support is needed on many levels in order to keep things together for them. Weather it's prayer, words of encouragement , or monetary contribution. All these things will be greatly appreciated and accepted with open arms.   I thank you for helping in whatever way possible.  And they thank you as well.  Thank you and God bless.
