Help for John and Lisa

Donation protected
On June 25, 2018, our friend John Melone was involved in a serious work accident.  A front end loader ran over him while he was working and he was rushed in to a 5 hour emergency surgery for extensive injuries and internal bleeding.

John is currently sedated and on a ventilator. All but three of his ribs are broken, both of his lungs collapsed so he has chest tubes in to keep the air out. He has large hematomas (bruising) on his lungs which is why he has to be on a ventilator. John's pelvis is fractured and twisted, and his left arm is broken.  His spleen, left kidney and left adrenal glands were removed and he currently has pneumonia. 

Many people have offered to help and this is one way to show support.

It is clear that John had a lengthy recovery ahead of him. We hope for John to continue to amaze us with his strength. 
Donations would be used to help pay for additional medical expenses that will occur, as well as, Lisa taking time off from work to care for John.   

If you are unable to contribute financially , please send them prayers and positive thoughts as they begin this long, difficult journey.
