Let's get Jimi 2F Drumming Again!
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
As some of you may have heard, Jimi Two Feathers experienced a medical emergency while some of us were away on the mountain for Rites of Spring.
On May 21st Jimi suffered an extensive stroke which resulted in a total loss of feeling and control over the left side of his body. And if you know him, you may have picked up on the fact that drumming is his life, so this is particularly devastating for him.
The good news is the effects of this type of stroke can be overcome with time and physical therapy, and already Jimi has made major progress. He is in good spirits and is motivated to return to the level of functioning he had prior to being admitted to the hospital.
Not only will his journey on the road to recovery be a long one, but it will also be a very expensive one. Since Jimi did not have enough insurance when this event occurred he was limited in what facilities would take him as a patient- in fact some of them turned him away and would not even give him an out-of-pocket quote for the cost.
Jimi is currently receiving rehab in a skilled nursing facility which he and Morwen will have to pay for completely on their own. In addition to this expense the Two Feathers will need to modify their home in order to accommodate his needs once rehab has decided that they are unable to continue his treatment.
Please consider contributing to this fundraiser. It is a chance for all of Jimi's communities to give back a little of what he has contributed to so many for so long. Any help will be appreciated beyond words.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and blessings to you all!
