Safe Boat for Nate

Donation protected
Please read, it is very woth it.... Looking to raise money for a boat may seem like and unworthy cause until you hear the story behind it.  

My name is Jake. I've been blessed to be able to participate in sports my entire life from youth sports to high school and college.  But this story is not about me, it's about my best friend Nate.

Nate has never been able to participate in contact sports or almost any types of physical activity because Nate has Muscular Dystrophy.  His whole life he has cheered his  friends and family on form the sidelines.  

Nate loves the outdoors especially fishing.  Nate was the president and team captain of the fishing team at UW Oshoksh where he recently graduated from.  Now that he is done with college there's only one thing holding Nate back from enjoying fishing on his own. His very small, very unsafe boat in which his friends have named "The Danger Zone.  Because of Nates disability he cannot swim and needs a sturdy and strong reliable boat.  

Nate has a decent job and has been trying to save up money for a good boat for several years.  But recently he has encoutered a tough stretch with his health being in and out of the hospital several times.  From student loans to his growing doctor bills almost all of his money he was saving for a boat has been dissolved.  Nate's Muscular Dystrophy has led to Cardiomyopathy, or heart failure in Nates heart.  For the time being it is controlled with medications but there'possibility he will need a  heart transplant in the future.  Nate needs a safe boat and deserves one after all of the struggles he has been through in his life already.  

Fishing is one of the few sports he can participate in and dearly loves.  Please help Nate out by donating, Thank You so much!
