Jake's Road to Recovery!!!

Donation protected
Jacob Villarreal, 22, an employee of Jupiter Aluminum, member of NWI Car Enthusiasts, & NWI Riders was involved in a tragic motorcycle accident only one block from his home. Many first responders were called to the scene and he was transported to Methodist's Emergency Trauma Center  where he was airlifted to Loyola University Hospital. His injuries were life threatening and they said his helmet and gear saved his life. Unfortunately, due to the bike landing to the left side there was traumatic damage to his left leg and foot. After three surgeries of medical staff trying to save his leg a decision was made to amputate the left leg below the knee. He is currently recovering in the hospital and will need about a year to recover, go through physical therapy, and learn to walk again. Currently, he is without medical insurance. We are so grateful everyday he is alive. Anyone that knows or crossed paths with Jake knows he is a great young-man, hardworking, and a loving friend. This is a hard time for Jake, his friends, and family we ask that anyone donate what they can to help him on his road to recovery. Funds donated will help Jake pay medical bills and his living expenses during this rough time. If you are unable to donate please share/repost.
