Gus Yacteen's Medical Support

Donation protected
Hello all,

So as you may have heard, our close friend Gus "Gus Bus" Yacteen has been involved in a serious accident that is going to require extensive medical care over a long period of time.

 On Thursday, January 5, 2017, Gus was wrestling with a friend when he accidentally slammed his head into the ground, ultimately breaking his neck. The hit caused a vertebrae in his neck to break into 3 pieces. This has caused partial paralysis for the time being, and is going to require Gus to go through a considerable amount of rehab to get him back on his feet. Next week Gus will be transported from Baystate Medical Center to a facility in Connecticut for rehab to begin his healing process. Thsi will involve him building up his strength and movement abilities to hopefully get him to walk again. This could take a very long time, up to a year or longer, but we are hopeful for a speedy recovery.

As a result of this, we are calling to his friends, family, and others close to him for help! Gus is a great person,  with a heart of gold, and we don't want him or his family to have to worry as much about the medical bills.

Any donation amount is greatly appreciated,

Thank you all :)
