Help Matt Costello and Family
Donation protected
Hello all,
My name is Andrew Reed. The man above is named Matt Costello. He is a Coworker of mine at Wil Build Construction LLC. The man above is one of the most caring, loving, and hardworking men I have ever met. Please read the following and get this hard working man back on his feet.
On October 24th Matt Costello 32 of Fletcher, Missouri was working in the woods cutting firewood. While attempting to pull a log out of the woods the chain attached to the log came undone. While backing the tractor up to rehook the chain to the log, the operators foot slipped off the clutch and rolled backwards over the log and onto Matt. Upon this moment, the operator put the tractor into gear and pulled away relieving Matt from being pinned down by the tractor. He was airlifted to Mercy St. Louis. Matt suffered from two dislocated and broken collar bones, two spinal fractures, 6 fractured ribs, one of which puncturing his lung. Matt also fractured his scapula. Matt has torn muscles and is bruised from head to toe. Unfortunately Matt has NO HEALTH INSURANCE and will be forced to cover all cost out of pocket.
Before suffering these injuries Matt worked two jobs, six days a week, in order to support his family including his wife Jamie Costello, their daughters, as well as his parents. In total, Matt has been driven to work every day as hard and efficiently as possible in order to support his family. He is only off on Sundays and typically Matt is still working around the house. On Sundays Matt and his family enjoy going out for breakfast then fishing in their favorite fishing holes. Every day when Matt gets home from work his children love to climb all over him and show their love for him. Matts' children love when he chases them around.
As a Physical Therapy student at Maryville University I find the need for physical therapy to be crucial in ones recovery. With this initial $10,000 it will be used to help Matt and his family pay some of the medical bills. This money will not come close to paying all of his medical bills but every bit helps. My overall goal is to collect enough funds in order to pay for as much of the medical bills as well as all physical therapy. This is very important to me because his young daughters need their father. I wish only to enable them to continue with their lives. My father means the world to me and I can only imagine how terrified his children are. I want Matt to be able to continue playing with his children and return to work to support them as he used to. There will be a great need for physical therapy in his road to recovery but with your help we can get Matt back on his feet. The Costello family is gracious for every bit of help they receive. The stress this incident has left the Costello family is beyond belief. They have lost their main source of income and acquired many bills. By donating to Matt and his family, we can help this hard working, caring, and loving man get back on his feet and back to chasing his children. Join me in relieving the Costello family of financial need. Please help us attain the care Matt deserves.
Spread the awareness of how important health insurance is as well. Assist me in making this gofundme go viral ultimately aiding the Costello Family.

Thank you and God bless,
