Life Upheaval

Hi there, My name is Austin Peterson, I am writing this in regards to Ron Gabbard. As of  03/15/2017 around 4 P.M. Ron was life flighted from Richfield, UT to Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City when doctors found a torn Aorta that was on the brink of rupturing. He spent nine and a half hours in the operating room as the doctors struggled to repair his heart. He went in at 7 p.m. on the 15th and they finished around 4:30 a.m. on the 16th. Ron is a father of three, two of which he had just recently reconnected with. He has been living in Richfield, UT in an attempt to know them better, after struggling to get back on his feet for many years. He has overcome many challenges in his life including recovering from being homeless and drug use. This was a very large scare that could have turned out for the worst. Luckily the kids still have their father. Now as he sits in the ICU recovering from his long night we are here to help him recover from the medical bills. It is estimated that he will be responsible for about $100,000 every week he has to stay, not to mention the flight and other expenses. It is at this time we reach out with heavy thoughts and loving arms to ask help from our community. Anything you can possibly spare would be much appreciated, even just $5 or a kind gesture.
Thank You!
