This man is an honest and extremely hardworking individual who builds homes for an income.  However, despite him working more 65+ hours per week as a contractor, circumstances led him to have to cancel health insurance last year due to the rising cost.   Oftentimes, he would go without compensation in order to provide for his employees and customers.  Unfortunately, he recently had an accident in his Applachian hometown of Vanceburg, KY; he was working on a buliding in and fell from the roof.  As a result, his coworkers feared for his life and he was eventually brought by helicoptor to Huntington, WV to St. Mary's Hospital to receive treatment there at the closest trauma center.  He was in ICU where he received treatment for 3 broken vertebrae, several broken ribs and a punctured lung.  You can see the photo that is attached of how much a 50 mile life flight cost.  The company charged him over $42,000 for a 50-mile flight. He is now worried that he may lose everything that he has worked so hard for.  We are trying to raise money to help pay for his medical bills and get him back on his feet.  Anything you could do to help would be greatly appreciated and once this is behind him, I know that he is the type of man to pay it forward.  Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
