Jason Skiles- Car Accident Medical Cost Help

Donation protected
It seems like Jason Skiles knows everyone. Always finding friends in unexpected places while out about about with his family, at work sweating out the day, or on the race track. He carries a smile through life and shares it with most he meets. Last Monday, September 30th, that smile changed to a painful grimace in an instant. Jason was in a serious car accident on Highway 70 in St. Louis just minutes after leaving a long workday to make his way home to his family. Waiting at a dead stop in rush-hour traffic, his car was hit by a drunk and careless driver at a speed of around 70 miles per hour. This impact immediately forced his car into the car in front of him, sandwiching the small VW bug and Jason inside. No warning, no breaks and no car insurance from the reckless driver... At the scene, Jason found a friend he hadn't yet met. A good samaratin pulled him from the wreckage, managed his heavy bleeding and even sheltered the sun from his eyes while the ambulance arrived. (Thank you, whoever you are, our family owes you a hug) His injuries are extensive and major. Jason has suffered a head injury, is bruised and battered throughout his body and his right femur bone was rocketed through his hip shattering it into several pieces. Since Monday, Jason has had hip reconstruction surgery and is now facing the long road of rehabilitation to regain his ability to sit up, walk and even urinate on his own. His job as a union laborer has been put on hold while he recovers....as has the steady paycheck that his family depends on him to earn. The medical bills are already massive and even with health insurance, this debt threatens his home, vehicles and way of life for his wife and his two amazing kiddos, Alisha and Noah. We are calling to all of Jason's friends in this moment of need. There are alot of you out there who have been asking how to help. The most important thing we can do for our friend right now is to be generous. Please consider donating to this fund to help tackle the heavy financial burden that the Skiles family is now facing. This is a tough road for Jason, but, we can help him through it...that's what friends do....that's what he would do for us. Thank you for showing your support in donating. We will post updates that Jen provides to this page as there is progress in his condition. ❤He sends his love to everyone❤
