Roberts horrific farm accident
Donation protected
My names Rob, or flossy as many mates call me by.
On Sunday July 21st I had a horrible accident collecting firewood at home. A tree branch came up through the firewall of the farm buggy while I was driving along at about 10kmph. The wattle tree it went in through below my knee and out through my thigh. The force of the impailing was enough to stop the buggy and stall the motor.
I struggled to hold myself as the wattle tree had pushed me out of the seat and pinned me for an hour and a half while emergency services cut the tree and finally got me on the way to the hospital,
Later that night I was admitted in to emergency surgery to remove the tree, they basically butterflied my leg open from my inner thigh/groin to my ankle to flush the wound and repair the muscle, I have nerve damage and it was a couple of millimeters from my main artery, it didn’t hit bone and I’m thankful I still even have a leg.
This has now caused me to be out of income and as a result from many surgeries I cannot bend my knee and I do not have any personal insurance.
I have personal bills and debt, aswell as costs from surgery and the rest. I'm going to be immobile for quite some time so any donation is going to be greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions please ask me.
