The Whitmire Family Needs Our Help

Donation protected
The Whitmire family is in need of our help.  Their handsome 21 year old son, Jesse, was driving in his truck alone when he lost control and crashed. The accident has left him paralyzed from the chest down and he is lucky to be alive.  

The accident left him with a shattered C3 vertebrae, while cutting the spinal cord.  C4, C5, and C6 are also broken.  After spending several weeks in the hospital in Fort Walton Beach, a miracle happened.  He was accepted into the Shepard Center, located in Atlanta, Georgia, a private, not-for-profit hospital specializing in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury, brain injury, and other neuromuscular conditions.   Jesse is expected to remain here for a minimum of four weeks, but possibly more.

Jesse's parents are with him and are having to learn how to care for him.   As you can imagine, the entire family has not been able to work and the medical bills are just now beginning to come in.  They have a LONG road ahead of them and their lives have been forever changed.

Please join me to provide financial assistance to this loving family so that it is one less thing they have to worry about.
