Keith and Shaune's Road to Wellness

Donation protected
This is the story of Keith and Shaune.  On Thanksgiving morning Keith was driving to work and struck a deer.  In an effort to miss the deer, the car rolled and eventually struck a tree.  Fortunately an off-duty firefighter was the first on the scene and was able to get an ambulance very quickly.  The Paoli trauma center immediately life-flighted him to Jefferson Memorial in Philly.  He spent several weeks in ICU with a grim out-look. His neck was broken in three places. Essentially, he is paralyzed from the chest down, but thankfully able to breath on his own.  He was moved to Magee Rehab in Philly because they are the best for spinal cord injuries of this type.  He has made slow progress and dreams to walk again someday. He is on a long road to recovery and for each step forward there seem to be three steps back.  Keith has always been the sole supporter of his family. In addition to the physical impact, there are definitely financial implications. Keith's wife Shaune was at his side every minute making daily trips into the city.  Family and friends relieving her only when she could be convinced to take a short break.  On the evening of Feb. 9th,  on one such occasion, Shaune was in a "freak" accident where her car rolled backward in the family driveway, knocking her to the ground causing a broken nose, cuts and bruises and a severe head-injury and brain bleed.  She spent seveal days in an induced coma but is now awake and getting stronger by the day.  She too is still in the hospital/rehab.  The financial needs are growing daily as now both Keith and Shaune are hospitalized with uncertain futures.  The family has moved to a more wheelchair friendly home and have lost two vehicles. I can't even begin to think about the medical costs.  Their three adult children are doing what they can to hold the family together, but soon the bills will need to be paid. 
We would like to help them out in any way possible.  Please consider helping them as they both travel the long road to wellness.  In spite of this "modern-day" Job story, they are surprisingly upbeat and thank God for their lives and for one another. They are grateful for any help you can give.  Please keep them all in your prayers. Thanks!
